Anatomy of a Distributed SQL Database - YugabyteDB

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

YugabyteDB is an open-source distributed SQL database that implements PostgreSQL features while scaling horizontally. The talk explains its cloud-native architecture—combining consensus protocols, logical clocks, LSM trees and SSTables (instead of B-trees) for SSDs—and positions it at the intersection of PostgreSQL, Spanner, Cassandra and RocksDB to show why and how it works internally.
