Handling Automatic ID Generation in PostgreSQL with Node.js and Sequelize
There are many ways to handle ID generation in PostgreSQL. In this blog, we’ll demonstrate four ways to do so in Sequelize for PostgreSQL and YugabyteDB.

How to Set Up a Mechanism to Capture pg_stat_statements in a Persistent Table
Let’s see how to capture pg_stat_statements from all the nodes in a persistent table to use for analysis. The data can then be stored in YugabyteDB tables, accessible from any node unless purged. Want to see how it can be done?

Client-Side vs Server-Side Latencies Demystified in PostgreSQL and YugabyteDB
Every SQL execution in PostgreSQL and therefore in YugabyteDB YSQL takes time to process. A common way to identify how much is time spent on processing is to use the pg_stat_statements view in the database. However, the time visible in pg_stat_statements might differ from the time a database client registers for the execution. Where does this difference come from? Let’s take a look.

Comparing the Maximum Availability of YugabyteDB and Oracle Database
Finding one-to-one mapping of the differences between monolithic and cloud-native databases is difficult.
In this blog, we compare YugabyteDB and Oracle (RAC, Data Guard) via availability objectives.
This should help you understand how Oracle MAA options map to YugabyteDB’s intrinsic features when considering migration projects.

Java Development: How Applications Litter Beyond the Heap
In Java development, garbage collection is a routine task. Applications generate garbage all the time. And that garbage is meticulously cleaned out by CMS, G1, Azul C4 and other types of collectors. Basically, our applications are born to bring value to this world, but nothing is perfect—including our applications that leave litter in the Java heap.
However, the story doesn’t end with the Java heap. In fact, it only starts there. Let’s take the example of a basic Java application that uses a relational database—such as PostgreSQL—and solid state drives (SSDs) as a storage device.

YugabyteDB CDC: Using JDBC Sink Connector with Kafka
In this blog, we’ll discover how to publish data to a Kafka topic and then read those messages to another sink, in this case a PostgreSQL database.

Streaming Changes From YugabyteDB to Downstream Databases
In this blog post, we will stream data to downstream databases leveraging YugabyteDB’s Change Data Capture (CDC) feature introduced in YugabyteDB 2.13. This will publish the changes to Kafka and then stream those changes to databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch.

Retail Application Migration: Lessons Learned Moving from On-Prem to Cloud Native
Recently, I came across a sample e-commerce application that demonstrates how to use Next.js, GraphQL engine, PostgreSQL, and a few other frameworks to build a modern web application. The application supports basic e-commerce capabilities such as product inventory and order management, recommendation system, and checkout function. This made me curious as to how much effort it would take to complete a retail application migration from an on-premise to cloud native solution. So I decided to try.

Securing YugabyteDB: Part 2 – Client-to-Server Encryption in Transit
In the first post in this series, we covered how to secure YugabyteDB’s internal RPC protocol using the TLS encryption protocol, also referred to as server-to-server encryption in transit. In this post, we secure the communication between SQL clients and the PostgresQL query interface of YugabyteDB, also called client-to-server encryption in transit.
YugabyteDB—a 100% open source, distributed SQL database built to accelerate cloud native agility—stores important user and customer data at an organization.

Performing Flexible IO Testing in YugabyteDB
ybio is a PL/pgSQL based load generator for PostgreSQL and YSQL. This YugabyteDB-specific IO testing toolkit performs flexible IO testing to specific parts of the YugabyteDB infrastructure with no client installation. And because this toolkit is PL/pgSQL-based, it can also work on native PostgreSQL.
ybio is strongly inspired by Kevin Closson’s SLOB and pgio. Yugabyte Developer Advocate Franck Pachot took pgio and turned it into ybio.
