YugabyteDB 2.19 introduces a revolutionary built-in Connection Manager, transforming PostgreSQL’s well-documented connection challenges into strengths. The enhanced manager boosts connection creation speeds up to 20x and supports up to 5x more connections, all while maintaining consistent throughput.
Learn how YugabyteDB handles node loss and recovery to ensure consistent, continuous availability. With features like a 3-second leader re-election process and a robust fallback mechanism, your cluster can tolerate disruptions and resume optimal operation efficiently.
Chaos testing, mirroring elite athletes’ rigorous training, pushes systems to their limits to ensure resilience. Dive into our case study using YugabyteDB’s CDC feature to see this in action, highlighting our dedication to a building a reliable and resilient database solution.
In distributed databases like YugabyteDB, managing unique, sequential numbers across multiple applications can introduce latency. This blog explores the different ways YugabyteDB makes sequence generation efficient and offers insights on enhancing performance in distributed setups.
Discover why YugabyteDB doesn’t support PostgreSQL extensions pg_repack and pg_buffercache. While YugabyteDB leverages the Postgres query layer, its unique approach to the storage layer makes certain extensions unnecessary.
Discover how YugabyteDB gives you the flexibility to set different RF values and server counts for your read replica cluster. Tailor your replica nodes for optimized low-latency reads across multiple regions while maintaining a separate replication factor for high availability.
PostgreSQL offers robust features but has certain limitations in scalability, replication, resilience (and more). YugabyteDB addresses these issues through distributed design, storage efficiency, and transaction handling, providing a comprehensive solution when high availability, ACID, and scale are mandatory.
Learn how YugabyteDB ensures stability when a downed node rejoins the cluster. Our latest blog covers the essential 15-minute RAFT timeout and the built-in fault tolerance mechanisms that keep your data secure and accessible.
Optimize your web testing with parallel Cypress execution using Docker and Jenkins, cutting down test suite time across multiple virtual machines. This guide also covers the integration of Report Portal for detailed reporting and Mochawesome for insightful analysis.
YugabyteDB offers ways to geo-distribute reads. While read replicas are one method, they require more infrastructure. An alternative is to enable follower reads for low-latency access from the primary cluster.
