Five Benefits to Running a Distributed SQL Database in Kubernetes

Five Benefits to Running a Distributed SQL Database in Kubernetes

A distributed SQL database is a single logical relational database deployed on a cluster of servers. The database automatically replicates and distributes data across multiple servers. These databases are strongly consistent and support consistency across availability and geographic zones in the cloud.

At a minimum, a distributed SQL database has the following characteristics:

  • A SQL API for accessing and manipulating data and objects
  • Automatic distribution of data across nodes in a cluster
  • Automatic replication of data in a strongly consistent manner
  • Support for distributed query execution so clients do not need to know about the underlying distribution of data
  • Support for distributed ACID transactions

But should you run a distributed SQL database in Kubernetes?

Tutorial: How to Deploy Multi-Region YugabyteDB on GKE Using Multi-Cluster Services

Tutorial: How to Deploy Multi-Region YugabyteDB on GKE Using Multi-Cluster Services

The evolution of “build once, run anywhere” containers and Kubernetes—a cloud-agnostic, declarative-driven orchestration API—have made a scalable, self-service platform layer a reality. Even though it is not a one size fits all solution, a majority of business and technical challenges are being addressed. Kubernetes as the common denominator gives scalability, resiliency, and agility to internet-scale applications on various clouds in a predictable, consistent manner. But what good is application layer scalability if the data is still confined to a single vertically scalable server that can’t exceed a predefined limit?

Connecting a Spring Boot Application to YugabyteDB Managed and Deploying It to Kubernetes on minikube

Connecting a Spring Boot Application to YugabyteDB Managed and Deploying It to Kubernetes on minikube

Spring Boot is one of the most popular frameworks for building cloud native applications. It makes configuring an application easy and offers tons of starters to get you off the ground quickly. Each Spring Boot application is stand-alone and self-contained, which makes them easy to deploy in a distributed fashion – to containers or, even better, on Kubernetes.

YugabyteDB Managed (formerly Yugabyte Cloud) is Yugabyte’s DB-as-a-service and is a perfect match for Spring Boot applications,

Getting Started with YugabyteDB on Azure Kubernetes Service

Getting Started with YugabyteDB on Azure Kubernetes Service

Microsoft’s Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers a highly available, secure, and fully managed Kubernetes service for developers looking to host their applications on containers in the cloud. AKS features elastic provisioning, an integrated developer experience for rapid application development, enterprise security features, and the most available regions of any cloud provider.

YugabyteDB is a natural fit for AKS because it was designed to support cloud native environments since its initial design.

Distributed SQL on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with YugabyteDB’s Helm Chart

Distributed SQL on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with YugabyteDB’s Helm Chart

The glory days of the heavy-weight hypervisor are slowly fading away, and in the last few years, containerization of applications and services is the new reality. With containerization, enterprises can prototype, deploy, and meet scale demands more quickly. To systematically and efficiently manage these large-scale deployments, enterprises have bet on technologies like Kubernetes (aka k8s), a powerful container orchestrator, to get the job done. Kubernetes was originally developed by Google, but it has been open sourced since 2014 and is today developed by a large community of contributors.
