Getting Started with Distributed Backups in YugabyteDB

YugabyteDB is a distributed database with a Google Spanner-inspired strongly consistent replication architecture that is purpose-built for high availability and high performance. This architecture allows administrators to place replicas in independent fault domains, which can be either availability zones or racks in a single region or different regions altogether. These types of multi-AZ or multi-region deployments have the immediate advantage of guaranteeing organizations a higher order of resilience in the event of a zone or region failure.

YSQL Architecture: Implementing Distributed SQL in YugabyteDB

In this post, we will look at the architecture of YSQL, the PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL API in YugabyteDB. We will also touch on the current state of the project and the next steps in progress. Here is a quick overview:

  • YugabyteDB has a common distributed storage engine that powers both SQL and NoSQL
  • For supporting NoSQL apps, YugabyteDB is designed for low latency, sub-millisecond reads and massive write scalability. It can handle millions of requests and many TBs of data per node with linear scalability and high resilience.

Note that this data type is specific to YugabyteDB and is not part of the standard Cassandra Query Language (CQL).

With YugabyteDB’s native JSON support,
