Recapping My Internship at Yugabyte – Jayden Navarro

It was a warm day in early October, and two large white tents occupied the lawn that sits between the Gates, Hewlett, and Packard buildings. Companies pasted the word “AI” in big bold letters across their banners, and students formed long lines, resumes in-hand, eager to learn about the Next Big Thing and how often the company cafeteria serves Poké.

Six months prior I had made the decision to leave my comfortable job as a Software Engineer in the networking industry and pursue a Masters degree in Computer Science at Stanford,

Getting Started with PostgreSQL Triggers in a Distributed SQL Database

Triggers are a basic feature that all monolithic SQL systems like Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL have supported for many years. They are very useful in a variety of scenarios ranging from simple audit logging, to advanced tasks like updating remote databases in a federated cluster. In this blog, we’ll look at examples of INSERT, UPDATE and INSTEAD OF triggers in Yugabyte DB.

The Effect of Isolation Levels on Distributed SQL Performance Benchmarking

This post addresses a concern raised about a benchmarking result we recently published comparing the performance of YugabyteDB, Amazon Aurora and CockroachDB. It was pointed out that we unfairly used the default isolation level for each database rather than use serializable isolation level in all databases (even though serializable level was not required for these workloads). In addition, we are also happy to share additional results with the workloads run at YugabyteDB’s serializable isolation level.
