Distributed SQL Arrives at Turkey’s Largest E-Commerce Platform` has been adopted by `Trendyol`, a technology company that powers the largest e-commerce platform in Turkey. This adoption was driven by the need for a database that could handle exponential growth in the country's e-commerce market, which is expected to grow 14% (CAGR) in 2023. Trendyol evaluated several relational database management system (RDBMS) solutions and chose `YugabyteDB`, an open-source distributed SQL database, due to its high availability, horizontal scalability, cloud-native platform, multi-region deployment options, built-in replication capabilities, and PostgreSQL compatibility. YugabyteDB's architecture was able to handle more transactions per second and performed better under heavy workloads compared to other RDBMS solutions, making it the optimal choice for Trendyol's business needs. The company is now evaluating YugabyteDB for subsequent use cases as it scales operations and grows in multiple regions across the globe.
