YugabyteDB:
Built for Your Entire Team

Software Engineers

• PostgreSQL compatibility out of the box. Existing drivers, frameworks, and queries port over with no rewrites required.
• ACID transactions across distributed nodes. Strong consistency is the default; there are no eventual-consistency trade-offs baked into your application logic.
• Zero downtime by design. Node failures and rolling upgrades resolve automatically.
• Linear horizontal scaling. Add nodes to handle traffic growth without re-architecting your data model or application.
• Multi-modal APIs. PostgreSQL, Cassandra-inspired, and MongoDB-inspired APIs on a single platform reduce the number of databases you need.
• Built-in vector support for AI workloads. pgvector and native embedding support mean your transactional and AI data live in the same database, with the same consistency guarantees.
• Agent-ready multitenancy with YugabyteDB AMP. Spin up hundreds of isolated PostgreSQL databases at fractional-core cost, each with its own WAL and pages. This allows your agent fleet to scale without shared-schema blast radius or a separate infrastructure bill.

Enterprise Architects

• Active-active geo-distribution. Synchronous and asynchronous replication options support multi-region writes, cross-region DR, and data residency requirements in a single logical database.
• Zero RPO, ~3-second RTO. Distributed Raft consensus delivers these guarantees natively, without the Oracle MAA tier stack or cloud-specific DR services.
• Deploy anywhere. On-prem, hybrid, multi-cloud, and Kubernetes-native deployments are all supported, with consistent behavior across environments.
• Automatic data residency for compliance. Row-level geo-partitioning enables GDPR and data sovereignty compliance without application-layer workarounds.
• No single point of failure. A multi-master architecture with automatic sharding means no node has a unique availability dependency.
• Open source foundation, enterprise support. Apache 2.0 licensed with subscription support — no audit risk, no per-core licensing surprises.
• Agent fleet infrastructure without the sprawl. YugabyteDB AMP packs hundreds of isolated, fully independent PostgreSQL databases onto shared distributed infrastructure, with per-workload resource governance and a seamless path from serverless prototype to geo-distributed production — on the same platform, no migration required

DBAs and Ops Teams

• Zero-downtime rolling upgrades. Upgrade nodes one at a time without application interruption or a scheduled change window.

• Automatic failover in ~3 seconds. Raft-based leader re-election handles node loss without runbooks or manual intervention.
• Built-in connection pooling. No external pooler to deploy, tune, or maintain.
• Native observability and integrations. YugabyteDB Perf Advisor provides agentic and actionable insights on the fly. Native Prometheus and OpenTelemetry support show you cluster health, query performance, and replication status in your existing monitoring stack.
• Automated backups and point-in-time recovery. Configurable backup schedules with PITR, without managing backup infrastructure separately.
• Consistent operations across any deployment. YugabyteDB Anywhere provides a unified control plane for clusters running on-prem, in the cloud, or both.
• Painless migrations. YugabyteDB Voyager supports live migration from Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and cloud databases with fall-forward and fall-back capabilities.
• Manage hundreds of agent databases as one fleet. YugabyteDB AMP provisions isolated PostgreSQL databases on demand in seconds, enforces per-pool resource quotas to prevent noisy-neighbor runaway, and handles the bursty, unpredictable connection counts of agent workloads through a built-in Connection Manager.
