YugabyteDB 1.2 was recently Jepsen certified, marking a significant milestone for the database system. The certification process involved testing the database's consistency and transactional claims, with results indicating that YugabyteDB meets these requirements. A deep-dive into the testing approach and research methodology used by Kyle Kingsbury, creator of Jepsen, provided valuable insights into how to assess a database's reliability and performance. The webinar also addressed questions from attendees on various aspects of Jepsen testing, including heuristic approaches for evaluating internal tests, detecting cluster failures, and extending blackbox testing to include metrics and endpoints. With the certification in place, users can now expect to try out new generators implementations, compare YugabyteDB with other databases, and explore deployment options like macOS, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
