Geo-partitioning with YugabyteDB (versus standing up separate PostgreSQL instances per region) is the ideal solution for use cases that require cross-region data access, faster time to market, and easy deployment management.
Read this blog to discover the pitfalls of standing up separate PostgreSQL instances per region and the advantages of using geo-partitioning in YugabyteDB.
Explore YugabyteDB’s multi-tenancy options for effective tenant isolation – crucial for data privacy and regulatory compliance. This analysis highlights five possible scenarios where multi-tenancy would be desired and which YugabyteDB option would be the best choice.
This healthtech company leverages YugabyteDB Managed to power a global application that fosters collaboration among healthcare specialists, ensuring streamlined data compliance and insights.
YugabyteDB features two services: the YB-TServer for database-level operations and the YB-Master for cluster-level controls and metadata storage. Its unique structure divides tables and indexes into tablets, leading to RAFT groups with a distinct leader-follower dynamic based on the replication factor.
Learn how YugabyteDB handles node loss and recovery to ensure consistent, continuous availability. With features like a 3-second leader re-election process and a robust fallback mechanism, your cluster can tolerate disruptions and resume optimal operation efficiently.
Discover why YugabyteDB doesn’t support PostgreSQL extensions pg_repack and pg_buffercache. While YugabyteDB leverages the Postgres query layer, its unique approach to the storage layer makes certain extensions unnecessary.
Discover how YugabyteDB gives you the flexibility to set different RF values and server counts for your read replica cluster. Tailor your replica nodes for optimized low-latency reads across multiple regions while maintaining a separate replication factor for high availability.
Learn how YugabyteDB ensures stability when a downed node rejoins the cluster. Our latest blog covers the essential 15-minute RAFT timeout and the built-in fault tolerance mechanisms that keep your data secure and accessible.
YugabyteDB offers ways to geo-distribute reads. While read replicas are one method, they require more infrastructure. An alternative is to enable follower reads for low-latency access from the primary cluster.
In YugabyteDB, you can manage the number of shards (tablets) using flags like ysql_num_tablets for total control or ysql_num_shards_per_tserver for control per tserver. Dynamic auto-splitting is also supported for automatic adjustments as data grows.
