Read MoreOur previous post in this series “What is Distributed SQL?” highlights the common architectural principles as well as the business benefits of distributed SQL databases. In this post, we compare distributed SQL databases against NewSQL databases so that we can better understand their differences.
Before we dive into NewSQL, it is important to understand why NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Apache Cassandra came into prominence in the mid-to-late 2000s.

Read MoreA distributed SQL database needs to automatically partition the data in a table and distribute it across nodes. This is known as data sharding and it can be achieved through different strategies, each with its own tradeoffs. In this post, we will examine various data sharding strategies for a distributed SQL database, analyze the tradeoffs, explain the rationale for which of these strategies YugabyteDB supports and what we picked as the default sharding strategy.
