When developing modern applications, it is important to maintain dev/prod parity (that is, keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible). This should also extend to the local development environment. However, containerization makes it easy to achieve consistency across all environments, even with more complicated components such as databases.
YugabyteDB is a cloud-native, distributed SQL database that is also PostgreSQL compatible. This interoperability makes it possible for developers to leverage existing tools,

On the heels of an incredibly difficult 2020, my fellow Texans and I had the misfortune of experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime snowstorm. To be true, at the time, it felt like much more than a snowstorm. It wasn’t just snowfall in Texas. It was a snow-pocalypse.
However, once the storm settled, I explored how the rest of Texas had fared. I discovered some of the companies who run applications in production on YugabyteDB were also affected.

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.

“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.

Kroger is America’s largest grocer, with approximately 2,800 stores operating across 35 states. With a mission to Feed the Human SpiritTM, the company’s strategy is to ensure customers can find the fresh food they want—no matter how they want to shop. This strategy requires Kroger to maintain a flexible tech stack. Most importantly, the data architecture must be able to scale to meet growing demand, especially as new experiences are launched.

At Yugabyte, we are committed to complete PostgreSQL compatibility. Similar to PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB supports the following three container column types. These three data types are extremely useful in various cases:
Each data type’s utility is severely limited without an efficient way to index them.
