This blog explores how to import and export Avro (a row-based storage format file) and Parquet (a columnar storage format file) and how to process the data with a YugabyteDB database using Azure Databricks.
The evolution of “build once, run anywhere” containers and Kubernetes—a cloud-agnostic, declarative-driven orchestration API—have made a scalable, self-service platform layer a reality. Even though it is not a one size fits all solution, a majority of business and technical challenges are being addressed. Kubernetes as the common denominator gives scalability, resiliency, and agility to internet-scale applications on various clouds in a predictable, consistent manner. But what good is application layer scalability if the data is still confined to a single vertically scalable server that can’t exceed a predefined limit?

As Amazon CTO Werner Vogels often reminds us: ”Everything fails, all the time”. This means any component of the infrastructure will fail at some point. However, with more and more software being deployed in the cloud, today’s infrastructure must provide redundancy. In addition, the applications that sit on top of it must provide continuity over failures.
This involves database replication when the failure concerns data in motion. But there are different levels of failures and different protection technologies.

Spring Boot is a popular framework for building cloud native applications. It makes configuring an application easy and helps you off the ground quickly. Each Spring Boot application is stand-alone and self-contained, which makes all of them easy to deploy in a distributed fashion – to containers or on Kubernetes.
YugabyteDB Managed (formerly Yugabyte Cloud) is our database-as-service offering. It is a perfect match for Spring Boot applications, especially ones made highly available with Kubernetes.

Spring Boot is an extremely popular framework for building cloud native applications. It makes configuring an application easy and offers lots of starters to get you off the ground quickly. Each Spring Boot application is stand-alone and self-contained, which makes them easy to deploy in a distributed fashion – to containers or, even better, on Kubernetes.
YugabyteDB Managed (formerly Yugabyte Cloud) is a perfect match for Spring Boot applications,

In order to meet the needs of the growing demand of businesses, many global enterprises are choosing cloud infrastructure from multiple providers like AWS, Azure, Google, or private data centers. According to a Gartner survey of public cloud users, 81% of respondents are already using multiple clouds. Leveraging multiple clouds to support data infrastructure provides these benefits:

At the Distributed SQL Summit 2020, James Hartig – Co-Founder at Admiral, presented the talk “How Admiral Scales Globally with YugabyteDB on Google Cloud While Maintaining Single-Digit Latency.”
Admiral’s Go application runs in Google Cloud across 5 regions in 3 continents. This geo-distributed architecture is powered by a single YugabyteDB cluster that delivers an average global read latency of 3ms! In this talk,

We have been hard at work expanding our ecosystem to be available across major cloud infrastructure providers so we can power applications in any cloud or across clouds. In addition to deploying the YugabyteDB Anywhere (formerly YugabytDB Platform), our commercial database-as-a-service (DBaaS) offering, natively in AWS and GCP, we’re excited to announce the beta release of the Yugabyte Platform on Microsoft Azure. While it’s true Yugabyte Anywhere can already be deployed on Azure as an on premise cloud provider,
