YugabyteDB Engineering & Community Update – July 10, 2019

We are pleased to announce that YugabyteDB 1.2.12 is live! You can read the release notes of this and previous versions here. This release is shipping with 11 new enhancements and bug fixes. This also means we are getting closer to our 2.0 release at the end of the Summer in which the YSQL API will become generally available.

What’s YSQL? It’s YugabyteDB’s PostgreSQL-compatible, distributed SQL API.

To learn more about what’s shipping in the 2.0 release check out “YugabyteDB 2.0: A Distributed SQL Roadmap.”

[#1446] Visually Inspect YSQL Commands

This new feature is especially useful to SQL developers. You can now “observe” queries happening against the YSQL API, broken out by connections. To try this out, simply create a new database cluster and perform some queries against the DB using ysqlsh. Then you can browse to the utilities page (http://localhost:9000/utilz) which should display an “RPCs in Progress” section:

Now, click on the YSQL RPCs section and you should see something like:

    "connections": [
        {
