YugabyteDB Systemeigenschaften

YugabyteDB is an open source distributed SQL database for cloud native transactional applications that require high performance, resilience, scale, or geo-distribution. YugabyteDB is more than just wire compatible with PostgreSQL, it is code compatible. YugabyteDB achieves this by reusing PostgreSQL’s query layer to achieve a high degree of compatibility with existing PostgreSQL applications or those that can be migrated to PostgreSQL. With YugabyteDB, critical services can remain available during node, zone, region, and data center failures with fast failovers. Operations teams can effortlessly scale out even under heavy load without disruption or downtime by simply adding nodes to their YugabyteDB cluster. YugabyteDB offers the most comprehensive and flexible deployment options in geo-distributed environments, including synchronous and asynchronous replication as well as geo-partitioning.

• PostgreSQL compatible: Get instantly productive with a PostgreSQL compatible RDBMS. YugabyteDB reuses PostgreSQL’s query layer and supports all advanced features such as triggers, stored procedures, user-defined functions, expression indexes, and more
• Horizontally scalable: Scale out and in with zero impact. Proven in production to scale beyond 300K TPS, over 100TB of data, and thousands of concurrent connections
• Resilient to failures: Achieve continuous availability during infrastructure failures and on maintenance tasks such as software upgrades and distributed backups
• Geo-distributed: Use replication and data geo-partitioning capabilities to achieve the latency, resilience, and compliance your applications need
• Hybrid and multi-cloud: Deploy YugabyteDB in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, on VMs, containers, or bare metal

Systems of record and engagement for cloud native applications that require resilience, scale, or geo-distribution (product catalog, financial ledger, transactions, orders) serving layer for customer facing applications (shopping cart, shopping list, account management), IoT and edge applications.
