Five Benefits to Running a Distributed SQL Database in Kubernetes
A distributed SQL database is a single logical relational database deployed on a cluster of servers. The database automatically replicates and distributes data across multiple servers. These databases are strongly consistent and support consistency across availability and geographic zones in the cloud.
At a minimum, a distributed SQL database has the following characteristics:
- A SQL API for accessing and manipulating data and objects
- Automatic distribution of data across nodes in a cluster
- Automatic replication of data in a strongly consistent manner
- Support for distributed query execution so clients do not need to know about the underlying distribution of data
- Support for distributed ACID transactions
But should you run a distributed SQL database in Kubernetes?

Tutorial: How to Deploy Multi-Region YugabyteDB on GKE Using Multi-Cluster Services
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?

Getting Started with YugabyteDB, Temporal, and the Temporal-Maru Benchmarking Tool
“Does YugabyteDB integrate with temporal.io?” is a common question from developers. Temporal enables technologists to build highly reliable applications without having to worry about all the edge cases. Developers use Temporal not just because it is an open-source solution. They also use it to build workflows in code and operate resilient applications using developer-friendly primitives.
Temporal supports independent horizontal scaling of each of the Temporal Server services: Frontend, Matching, History, and Worker.

Connecting a Spring Boot Application to Yugabyte Cloud and Deploying It to Kubernetes on minikube
Spring Boot is one of the most popular frameworks for building cloud native applications. It makes configuring an application easy and offers tons 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.
Yugabyte Cloud is a perfect match for Spring Boot applications, especially ones made highly available with Kubernetes.

YugabyteDB on OKE (Oracle Cloud Kubernetes)
We have documented how to install YugabyteDB on the main cloud providers (https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/deploy/public-clouds). And when I joined Yugabyte, many friends from the oracle community asked me about the Oracle Cloud (OCI).
In the Oracle Cloud there are 2 ways to run containers:
- Do-It-Yourself with IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
Obviously, you can provision some compute instances (and network and storage) running Docker and install Kubernetes (or other orchestration).
