Tutorial: How to Deploy Multi-Region YugabyteDB on GKE Using Multi-Cluster Services

Tutorial: How to Deploy Multi-Region YugabyteDB on GKE Using Multi-Cluster Services

The evolution of “build once, run anywhere” containers and Kubernetes—a cloud-agnostic, declarative-driven orchestration API—have made a scalable, self-service platform layer a reality. Even though it is not a one size fits all solution, a majority of business and technical challenges are being addressed. Kubernetes as the common denominator gives scalability, resiliency, and agility to internet-scale applications on various clouds in a predictable, consistent manner. But what good is application layer scalability if the data is still confined to a single vertically scalable server that can’t exceed a predefined limit?

Getting Started with Hasura GraphQL Remote JOINs on Multi-Cloud Distributed SQL

Getting Started with Hasura GraphQL Remote JOINs on Multi-Cloud Distributed SQL

Remote joins in Hasura GraphQL extend the concept of joining data across tables, to being able to join data across tables and remote data sources. In this blog post we are going to demonstrate this capability by configuring the following set up.

  • A 3 node YugabyteDB cluster running on GKE with a Hasura GraphQL Engine attached
  • A 3 node YugabyteDB cluster running on AKS with a Hasura GraphQL Engine attached
  • A Remote Schema and Remote Relationship configured
  • The ability to issue GraphQL queries that join data from two different databases,

Deploying a Real-Time Location App with Hasura GraphQL Engine and Distributed SQL

Deploying a Real-Time Location App with Hasura GraphQL Engine and Distributed SQL

Hasura is one of the leading vendors in the GraphQL ecosystem. They offer an open source engine that connects to your databases and microservices, and then auto-generates a production-ready GraphQL backend. GraphQL is a query language (more specifically a specification) for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries by using a type system you define for your data. GraphQL is often used for microservices, mobile apps, and as an alternative to REST.

Run the REST Version of Spring PetClinic with Angular and Distributed SQL on GKE

Run the REST Version of Spring PetClinic with Angular and Distributed SQL on GKE

Java developers know that Spring Data makes it easy to use data access technologies, relational and non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud-based data services. When YugabyteDB is combined with Spring, Java developers are able to leverage their familiarity with PostgreSQL while gaining the added benefits of distributed SQL. These “out-of-the-box” benefits include geo-data distribution, high performance, and horizontal scalability, which are impossible or difficult to achieve with monolithic SQL databases.

Distributed SQL Change Management with Liquibase and YugabyteDB on GKE

Distributed SQL Change Management with Liquibase and YugabyteDB on GKE

Liquibase is an open source and extensible change management project that supports a variety of databases including Snowflake, MySQL, and PostgreSQL via JDBC. Liquibase allows users to easily define changes in SQL, XML, JSON, and YAML. These changes are then managed in a version control system so the changes can be documented, ordered, and standardized. For more information on the features and benefits of Liquibase, check out their documentation site.

Getting Started with SQLPad and Distributed SQL on Google Kubernetes Engine

Getting Started with SQLPad and Distributed SQL on Google Kubernetes Engine

SQLPad is an MIT licensed web app written in React and Node.js for writing and running SQL queries and visualizing the results. SQLPad supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Crate, Vertica, Presto, SAP HANA, Cassandra, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, SQLite, and many more via ODBC. Because YugabyteDB is PostgreSQL compatible, most third-party tools and apps will work “out of the box.” SQLPad is no exception here.

In this blog post we’ll show you how to:

  • Install a 3 node YugabyteDB cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine
  • Build the sample Northwind database
  • Build and configure SQLPad
  • Start the required SQLPad processes
  • Launch the SQLPad UI and issue a test query to validate the deployment
