Part 1: Yugabyte - Deep dive into a distributed SQL database

The Computing Podcast

Welcome to our 5rd episode. This is the second part of a two part series where go deep into the internals of Yugabyte with Karthik and Kannan. Yugabyte is a highly scalable and developer friendly open source distributed SQL database. Yugabyte is built by an Ex-Facebook team that wanted to bring what they learnt running one of the latest databases on the planet out into the open source world.

One thing I find really fascinating with Yugabyte is that they are fully compatible with Postgres, Redis and Apache Cassandra which makes it easy to replace a lot of infrastructure with just Yugabyte. Hope you enjoy the listen and remember to subscribe for many more of these deep technical discussions.

Our guests for this episode are:

• Kannan Muthukkaruppan, Founder & President, Product Dev. @ Yugabyte
• Karthik Ranganathan, Founder & CTO @ YugaByte
