The YugabyteDB Vagrant Box

The YugabyteDB Vagrant Box

Using Vagrant, anyone running Windows, Linux or Mac OS X can run and test drive a YugabyteDB cluster without the need to install and configure YugabyteDB. Plus, you can start over if you want to test something different in a matter of minutes, or scale up the cluster, etc.

Please mind that the Vagrant images are non-official images for demo and test purposes, and not configured nor representative for performance.

This is how it works (Mac OS X):

Getting Started with DBeaver EE and YugabyteDB Cloud Query Language (YCQL)

Getting Started with DBeaver EE and YugabyteDB Cloud Query Language (YCQL)

Developers and DBAs widely use SQL editors to design database schemas, write ad hoc queries, troubleshoot, and manage the security policies and database users. For these reasons, it is essential for us as builders of YugabyteDB to bring native integration with popular database tools like DBeaver.

If you are following the YugabyteDB project and our blog posts, you’ll know YugabyteDB currently supports two APIs – YSQL and YCQL (NoSQL) – for querying the database.

Computing Bacon Numbers for actors listed in the IMDb

YugabyteDB is an open source, high-performance distributed SQL database built on a scalable and fault-tolerant design inspired by Google Spanner. YugabyteDB uses its own special distributed document store called DocDB. But it provides SQL and stored procedure functionality by re-using the “upper half” of the standard PostgreSQL source code. This is explained in the two part blog post “Distributed PostgreSQL on a Google Spanner Architecture”: (1) Storage Layer;

Measuring the Performance Impact of TLS Encryption Using TPC-C

Measuring the Performance Impact of TLS Encryption Using TPC-C

Organizations need to protect their data, especially the personal data entrusted to them from their users and customers. In order to do so, the data transferred by a database over the network needs to be secure. This is often accomplished using TLS encryption, an encryption protocol that secures communication across a network. When secured by TLS, a communication between a client and a server can enable the two parties to identify one another (preventing any impersonation),
