Retail Application Migration: Lessons Learned Moving from On-Prem to Cloud Native

Recently, I came across a sample e-commerce application that demonstrates how to use Next.js, GraphQL engine, PostgreSQL, and a few other frameworks to build a modern web application.

Distributed SQL Deep Dive: Inside YugabyteDB’s Two-Layer Architecture

Distributed SQL Deep Dive: Inside YugabyteDB’s Two-Layer Architecture

YugabyteDB does this with its two-layer architecture: an extensible query processing layer and a distributed document store.

YugabyteDB: Reimagining the RDBMS for the Cloud

Perspectives from 5 years of building a cloud native database

YugabyteDB just turned 5 years old, and I cannot help but reminisce about our journey in building this database over the last half-decade. I vividly remember the genesis of the YugabyteDB project, which started with Kannan, Mikhail, and myself meeting for lunch at a restaurant to discuss the future of cloud native databases. After iterating on the idea over a number of such discussions,
