YugabyteDB And Yugabyte Cloud

Yugabyte is one of a new generation of database developers offering technology designed to outperform and outscale legacy database systems. YugabyteDB is a high-performance, distributed SQL database for building global, internet-scale applications.

In September Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yugabyte launched Yugabyte Cloud, a fully managed Database as a Service based on YugabyteDB for building cloud-based applications and moving legacy applications to the cloud.

One month earlier Yugabyte released YugabyteDB 2.9 with a smart JDBC client driver with an understanding of the distributed architecture of a YugabyteDB cluster. The new release also offers distributed transactional backups, fine-grained point-in-time recovery, transaction savepoints and the use of RPC compression to reduce network bandwidth usage.
