The easiest way to connect to your MariaDB service is to use the MySQL URL format, as long as your driver supports it:

mysql://root:<ROOT_PASSWORD>@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:<PORT>/root?useSSL=true&requireSSL=true

If you are using Ruby, the MySQL URL is slightly different:

mysql2://root:<ROOT_PASSWORD>@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:<PORT>/root?reconnect=true&useSSL=true&requireSSL=true
