Hell @topfunet,
you can use MariaDB in Aspire by adding it as a generic container in your AppHost. Aspire doesn't have a built-in .AddMariaDb() helper yet, but you can define the container manually and pass the connection string via service discovery.
Something like:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var mariadb = builder.AddContainer("mariadb", "mariadb", "version")
    .WithEnvironment("MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD", "rootpass")
    .WithEnvironment("MARIADB_DATABASE", "AppDb")
    .WithEnvironment("MARIADB_USER", "appuser")
    .WithEnvironment("MARIADB_PASSWORD", "apppass")
    .WithPort(3306);

builder.AddProject<Projects.WebApi>("webapi")
    .WithReference(mariadb)
    .WithEnvironment("ConnectionStrings__AppDb", 
        "connString");

builder.Build().Run();

Yep! You can also look at how the other database extensions are built and mimic them to build your own. If you want to propose a new integration I'd suggest starting https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Aspire/issues
