How a Distributed SQL Database Boosts Secondary Index Queries with Index Only Scan

A distributed SQL database reads from remote nodes, which increases the need for optimal data access.

Connecting a Spring Boot Application to YugabyteDB Managed and Deploying It to Kubernetes on minikube

Connecting a Spring Boot Application to YugabyteDB Managed and Deploying It to Kubernetes on minikube

In the Oracle Cloud there are 2 ways to run containers:

  • Do-It-Yourself with IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
    Obviously, you can provision some compute instances (and network and storage) running Docker and install Kubernetes (or other orchestration).
