YugabyteDB Architecture
Introduction In this article, we are going to explore the YugabyteDB architecture and see how it manages to provide automatic sharding and failover without compromising data integrity. YugabyteDB is a distributed SQL database, so its architecture is different than the ones employed by traditional relational database systems.
Fault Tolerance with Spring Data and YugabyteDB
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how we can achieve fault tolerance in your Spring Data application with the help of YugabyteDB. As previously explained, YugabyteDB is an open-source distributed SQL database that combines the benefits of traditional relational databases with the advantages of globally-distributed auto-sharded database systems.
Scaling a Spring application with a YugabyteDB cluster
Introduction In this article, we are going to see that scaling the data access layer of a Spring application can be done very easily with a YugabyteDB cluster. As I explained in this article, YugabyteDB is an open-source distributed SQL database that offers all the benefits of a typical relational database (e.g., SQL, strong consistency, ACID transactions) with the advantages of a globally-distributed auto-sharded database system (e.g., NoSQL document databases).
YugabyteDB Connection Pooling
Introduction In this article, we are going to see the overhead of acquiring a new connection when using YugabyteDB and why connection pooling is mandatory for performance.
Building a Distributed Audit Log with YugabyteDB
Introduction In this article, we are going to see what is the best way you can build an Audit Log using YugabyteDB. And what’s even more interesting is that this solution is almost the same on PostgreSQL. The only difference is how we are building the audit log table PRIMARY KEY, but everything else is exactly the same, demonstrating how easily you can migrate from PostgreSQL to YugabyteDB.
YugabyteDB column-level locking
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how YugabyteDB allows you to scale writes by employing column-level locking instead of the traditional row-level locking used by Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server. If you’re new to YugabyteDB, then you can start with this article first, as it explains what YugabyteDB is and why you should definitely consider using it.
Strong Consistency with YugabyteDB
Introduction In this article, we are going to see why the default strong consistency guarantees offered by YugabyteDB allow you to design applications that are more resilient than when using traditional relational database systems. If you’re new to YugabyteDB, check out this article first, in which I explain what YugabyteDB is and why you should consider using it.
A beginner’s guide to YugabyteDB
Introduction In this article, we are going to see what YugabyteDB is, how to install it and manage using PostgreSQL tools, and how you can connect to it using JDBC, JPA, or Hibernate. I got curious about Yugabyte since Franck Pachot joined them as a Developer Advocate. Having followed Franck for a long time, I decided to investigate this new PostgreSQL-compatible database they are developing since I’ve been learning a lot of stuff about SQL and database systems from Franck.
