Prometheus has matured into a robust time-series metrics monitoring solution since it was first open-sourced in 2012. CNCF incubated it as its second project after Kubernetes in 2016 followed by graduation in 2018. Today it is arguably the most popular option for monitoring Kubernetes cluster metrics as well as container-based applications. Combined with Grafana for visualization, it becomes a potent combination for dashboarding performance of applications. Nodes in a YugabyteDB cluster have exposed a Prometheus endpoint for easy metrics collection right from the inception of the open source project.

Polyglot persistence is the widely accepted database implementation strategy when it comes to decomposing monoliths into microservices. In practice, this requires every microservice to model its data needs independently using a database that is purpose-built for that particular model, and thereafter store the data in an independent database instance. While independent database instances as a deployment paradigm makes sense from an decoupled microservices architecture standpoint, choosing multiple different databases each with a specialized data model is usually justified in the context of performance,

We are excited to announce that YugabyteDB 2.1 went GA earlier this week! You can read the official release notes here. This release shipped with almost 70 new enhancements and fixes.
What’s YugabyteDB? It is an open source, high-performance distributed SQL database built on a scalable and fault-tolerant design inspired by Google Spanner. Yugabyte’s SQL API (YSQL) is PostgreSQL wire compatible.
Highlights of this release include:
Geo-distributed,

With the release of YugabyteDB 2.1 earlier this week, we introduced many exciting new features: performance optimizations, 2DC and read replica support, and more. We also announced that YugabyteDB Managed (formerly Yugabyte Cloud) is now officially in Beta! In this blog post we’ll show you how to quickly get up and running with a YugabyteDB cluster on YugabyteDB Managed, build a sample database, and connect to it with JetBrain’s DataGrip database administration tool.

Team Yugabyte is excited to announce the general availability of YugabyteDB 2.1! The highlight of this release is that Yugabyte SQL (YSQL), YugabyteDB’s PostgreSQL-compatible API, has not only improved performance 10x since the 2.0 release in September 2019 but is also production ready for multiple geo-distributed deployment scenarios. For those of you who are new to distributed SQL, YugabyteDB is a Google Spanner-inspired, cloud native distributed SQL database that is 100% open source.
…
When starting the YugabyteDB project, our founding thesis was to build a high-performance distributed SQL database for the cloud native era. Achieving high performance will always remain an ongoing initiative, especially when additional optimizations are required to support new features and new use cases. We are excited that the current YugabyteDB 2.1 release has a number of improvements that make Yugabyte SQL’s performance 10x better on average than the previous 2.0 release (from September 2019).

If you’re a database developer, you know the time saving value of an IDE in helping you create and navigate database objects, plus query and edit data from single UI. DataGrip from JetBrains is a well-rounded, visual database tool that supports almost 20 SQL and NoSQL databases from a single interface. And because YugabyteDB is PostgreSQL compatible, getting DataGrip to work with a distributed SQL database is relatively simple. In this post we’ll show you how to get DataGrip connected to a YugabyteDB cluster,
