YugabyteDB 2.0 is now available! This release features the production-ready Yugabyte SQL (YSQL) API. Discover new updates, including performance benchmarks, Jepsen test results, and a sneak peek at upcoming Beta features.
The team at YugaByte is excited to announce that YugabyteDB 1.2 is officially GA! You can download the latest version from our Quick Start page.
YugaByte SQL (YSQL) is our PostgreSQL v11 compatible, distributed SQL API. It is ideal for powering microservices that require low latency, internet scale, geographic data distribution and extreme resilience to failures but want the data modeling flexibility of SQL (joins,

As described in our previous post “How We Built a High Performance Document Store on RocksDB?”, YugabyteDB’s distributed document store (DocDB) uses RocksDB as its per-node storage engine. We made multiple performance and data density related enhancements to RocksDB in the course of embedding it into DocDB’s document storage layer (figure below). These enhancements are distributed as part of the YugabyteDB open source project. The goal of this post is to deep dive into these enhancements for the benefit of engineering teams interested in leveraging RocksDB beyond its original design intent of a fast monolithic key-value store.

YugaByte is excited to be at KubeCon today to announce Kubernetes StatefulSets support for our distributed SQL API which complements the transactional NoSQL APIs already generally available. YSQL is YugabyteDB’s PostgreSQL-compatible Distributed SQL API (currently in Beta). This new feature, available in YugabyteDB 1.1.7, cloud-native applications and microservices can rely on SQL and NoSQL to take full advantage of Kubernetes StatefulSets to power horizontally scalable, highly fault-tolerant data services,

YugabyteDB is a distributed database with a Google Spanner-inspired strongly consistent replication architecture that is purpose-built for high availability and high performance. This architecture allows administrators to place replicas in independent fault domains, which can be either availability zones or racks in a single region or different regions altogether. These types of multi-AZ or multi-region deployments have the immediate advantage of guaranteeing organizations a higher order of resilience in the event of a zone or region failure.

For ever-growing data workloads such as time series metrics and IoT sensor events, running a highly dense database cluster where each node stores terabytes of data makes perfect sense from a cost efficiency standpoint. If we are spinning up new data nodes only to get more storage-per-node, then there is a significant wastage of expensive compute resources. However, running multi-terabyte data nodes with Apache Cassandra as well as other Cassandra-compatible databases (such as DataStax Enterprise) is not an option.

Yugabyte has raised $16M in additional funding in a round led by Dell Technologies Capital and our previous investor Lightspeed Venture Partners. Combined with our previous funding of $8M, YugaByte has now raised $24M to solve one of the most challenging problems in operational databases today — a cloud-native, high-performance distributed SQL database platform.
