The MySQL database (v5.x) is used underneath. The ServiceNow software uses the MariaDB Java driver.
More information can be found from the stats.do page and clicking "Open Source Software".
That PDF has lots of cool information of what's going on "under the covers".

As Chuck shows here, use the filter navigator to get to the stats.do page. I was unable to get the Open Source link to work when navigating by address bar. Just opened to a blank page.

Anyone know for certain if this is still the correct answer? Had the impression it was entirely MariaDB at this point.
