YugaByte is a transactional, high-performance, planet-scale database.
Some of the geniuses who developed, scaled, and ran operations for the mission-critical Apache HBase platform at Facebook have taken their lessons learned over their time at Facebook (as well as Oracle and Microsoft) and built a truly next-level database platform.
While containers and the associated orchestration tools present a potential solution to the stateless layer of such applications, several issues remain when it comes to the stateful layer. On one hand, sharded SQL solutions are unfit to operate on elastic cloud infrastructure that depends on an inherently unreliable public Internet. On the other hand, NewSQL databases perform poorly under write-heavy workloads. And finally, NoSQL databases can easily lose data.
That’s why they built YugaByte DB: an open source, cloud-native database that powers enterprise applications with transactional consistency, high performance and multi-region scalability, all at the same time.
In this whiteboard deep dive with Karthik Ranganathan, Co-Founder & CTO at YugaByte and ActualTech Media's CEO Scott Lowe explore the technology at an architectural level.
