Summary

The distributed SQL market has evolved from the monolithic SQL era to globally distributed SQL databases that offer cost-effective horizontal write scaling, self-healing fault tolerance, and full spectrum of ACID compliance. Google Spanner-inspired databases such as Yugabyte DB, CockroachDB, and TiDB are solving every core issue of the past and laying the foundation for highly reliable and resilient data infrastructure in the cloud native era. These databases offer transparent sharding, replication, and multi-shard transactions, eliminating data loss and latency issues observed in traditional monolithic SQL and NewSQL databases. They also provide a fully open-source, cloud-native, distributed SQL database built on top of common distributed document store architectures. With Yugabyte DB, application architects can build apps fast with the data model of choice, reducing developer agility and operational simplicity challenges associated with legacy databases.
