Why Another Database?

You build apps differently today. You deploy apps differently. But if you are still using the same old monolithic databases, then you probably struggle with lower developer productivity, higher operational costs and elevated organization risk. It’s time you fully embrace the cloud native world with a modern, distributed database.
