Introducing YugabyteDB with Enhanced Postgres Compatibility: Postgres Without Limits

YugabyteDB has introduced new capabilities under the banner of enhanced Postgres compatibility, aimed at facilitating the seamless migration and operation of PostgreSQL applications on its platform. These enhancements include improved runtime compatibility, an adaptive cost-based optimizer, and smart data distribution, which collectively allow for high-scale, multi-region applications without the need for tradeoffs or forced migrations. The database retains the familiar PostgreSQL query layer but utilizes YugabyteDB's distributed storage engine, offering resilience and scalability alongside enterprise-grade features such as disaster recovery and security. This development underscores YugabyteDB's commitment to making the transition for existing Postgres apps as smooth as possible, with over 92% of PostgreSQL query patterns now running with comparable performance on YugabyteDB. By maintaining both functional and performance parity with PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB aims to position itself as the preferred choice for modern cloud-native transactional applications, supporting developers with a lift-and-shift experience that minimizes the need for extensive re-engineering.
