Yugabyte’s 50-node cluster benchmark demonstrates linear scalability in YugabyteDB, doubling throughput from 25 to 50 nodes with consistently low latencies. Conducted on Google Cloud Platform, these results highlight YugabyteDB’s cloud-native capabilities, applicable across various cloud and on-premise environments.
In an earlier blog on database consistency, we had a detailed discussion on the risks and challenges applications face in dealing with eventually consistent NoSQL databases. We also dispelled the myth that eventually consistent DBs perform better than strongly consistent DBs. In this blog, we will look more closely into how YugabyteDB provides strong consistency while outperforming an eventually consistent DB like Apache Cassandra. Note that YugabyteDB retains drop-in compatibility with the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) API.
