I genuinely never thought I'd see a fully distributed db. This is the magic bullet people been looking for in terms of having a simple ish db compared to complex data layers.
Incredible work. And supporting full postgresql.
This does sound a lot like a marketing post. But me no cares. This is pretty awesome I'm rarely this hyped for a technology.
- sidch 8y agohappy that you liked the post. as you could infer, this simplicity is by no means a magic bullet. there are always trade-offs depending on the database type you use as baseline for comparison. we highlight them here: https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/introduction/#what-are-the-trade-offs-involved-in-using-yugabyte-db https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/introduction/#what-are-the-... regarding the tone of the post, we are always open to feedback on how we can do better. let us know through any means possible incl. github and slack.
- manigandham 8y ago> "fully distributed db" What do you mean by this? There are lots of examples of distributed databases.
- whargarbl 8y agoAFAICT it is very far from supporting full Postgresql.
- ldng 8y agoI always though it was one of the pursuit of Google but NoSQL was all the rage and I was never taken seriously ... until F5 that is. Funnily enough, all what I would call "NoSQL papers" are very well known, yet F5 is hardly ever talked about. As if some people would not like to admit they might have been wrong ;-)
- gigatexal 8y agoBefore you let the hyperbole train run it’s course there’s are many distributed databases out there. Vitess+MySQL which runs YouTube, CockroachDB, YugaByte, faunaDB, bedrockDB etc
