Summary

Justuno's Database Journey from Ground to Cloud` is a story of evolution from traditional RDBMS to cloud-native distributed SQL databases. The company started with Microsoft SQL Server on-premise, then migrated to the cloud but faced limitations and challenges. They eventually adopted Apache Cassandra for horizontal scalability and low latency, but still encountered issues with data redundancy and performance. Finally, they transitioned to YugabyteDB on Google Cloud Platform, achieving single-digit latency, point-and-click scaling, and low Total Cost of Ownership. Throughout their journey, Travis Logan's experiences highlight the importance of considering cloud-native databases that can handle distributed ACID transactions, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance natively.
