YugabyteDB: Reimagining the RDBMS for the Cloud

Perspectives from 5 years of building a cloud native database

YugabyteDB just turned 5 years old, and I cannot help but reminisce about our journey in building this database over the last half-decade. I vividly remember the genesis of the YugabyteDB project, which started with Kannan, Mikhail, and myself meeting for lunch at a restaurant to discuss the future of cloud native databases. After iterating on the idea over a number of such discussions,

Intro

Does any of this ring familiar to you:

“I don’t think that I am making any contribution to the overall growth of the organization.”

“It’s not only about the growth of the organization, it’s about your growth. Both go hand in hand. These tasks might seem trivial to you but they are very important so that you get comfortable.”

Ever heard these words from your manager?

Applying Legal Design Thinking to the Software Development Process

Legal compliance for technology startups can be overwhelming. GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX, PCI, NIST — with so many long acronyms covering so many different legal frameworks, it can be hard to keep track of what applies to what, and become easy to fall into the trap of thinking you’ll deal with it later.

There is a middle road — applying legal design thinking from the beginning allows companies to innovate while at the same time choosing a legal framework for their software that meets customer needs and ensures business success.
