Summary

YugabyteDB's v1.3.1.2 SQL API has passed Jepsen testing, with the exception of transactional DDL support, which is being planned for soon. The test results showcase YugabyteDB's robustness to various failures, including crashes, network partitions, and clock skews. Two safety issues were identified: G2-item cycles in transactions and improperly initialized DEFAULT NOW() columns. Despite these findings, YugabyteDB demonstrates its ability to support serializable and snapshot isolation levels for transactions, with a focus on maintaining data consistency and reliability. The company is committed to addressing these issues and improving the overall correctness of its distributed SQL database.
