Together, these capabilities expand the reach of distributed PostgreSQL to applications at every scale while simplifying application architecture and migration.

Key Points: 
  • Together, these capabilities expand the reach of distributed PostgreSQL to applications at every scale while simplifying application architecture and migration.
  • Semi-distributed databases offer a simple lift-and-shift migration without the need to re-architect applications, but are limited in scale, eventually forcing another migration when needs grow.
  • And as the app grows, YugabyteDB seamlessly shifts to a fully-distributed mode to provide the massive scaling benefits of distributed SQL.
  • The latest release of Yugabyte’s open source end-to-end migration tool, YugabyteDB Voyager 1.5, introduces live, non-disruptive migration from Oracle.
