TIL: Look at the @Yugabyte documentation if you prefer railroad diagrams or if you feel the original @PostgreSQL docs are too brief. For example https://t.co/sSPR6A1Uqc vs.

English is a funny language - and there are some words I use frequently but have to be extra-careful with. Like "assess" - missing one 's' at the end makes it an unfortunate mistake if its the title to a slide πŸ˜€

This made me laugh πŸ˜€πŸ˜€: > Larry even inserted β€œRAFT” in his 23ai ppt - Reliable, Redundant, Replicated and Fault Tolerant That said, I'm OCD when it comes to spelling it "Raft" versus "RAFT" (as in not using all caps). https://t.co/R6IC29vViu Maybe its just me πŸ˜€

Great to hear @pdevisser on Distributed SQL Databases at MakeIT 2024 & @jcon_conference OpenBlend Slovenia 2024 It deserved a YugabyteDB sticker of course πŸ™‚ Great to get feedback from database expert who knows how databases are used by enterprises

@FranckPachot Is a legend. His understanding of @Yugabyte is unparalleled. It would nice if he shared more talks on it. Try watching his supporting act on Multi-Region Yugabyte on Kubernetes:

Yugabyte is indeed fantastic and worth a look. Huge upgrade over Cassandra, and I would go so far as to say it’s the only attempt at distributed SQL which I would consider using in production.

Thanks for the call out @MarkCallaghanDB, we do stand by our claims πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ BTW, a sneak peak at what's coming soon: we're bridging NewSQL and Distributed SQL in a single product (saw your other blog about these categories).

In short @Yugabyte scales ACID not by waiting on 2PC but - consensus for row / index entry replication - distributed transaction table for multi-shard tx (replicated with consensus) - optimization for single-shard/zone/region tx with local tx table - fast path for single row tx

Distributed transactions, that is, atomic commitment, look a lot like a distributed consensus problem: All participants must either commit or abort a transaction πŸ‘€πŸ‘€βœ”οΈβŒ However, atomic commitment is quite different from consensus πŸ‘‡ #ThinkingInDistributedSystems #goals2023
