Need a database that can accommodate a distributed hybrid deployment model, lower read and write latency, and (most importantly) run the existing PostgreSQL application without an expensive rewrite? See how YugabyteDB was able to meet a logistics company’s performance requirements with no PostgreSQL app changes.
The cloud revolution, initially promising for application scaling, falls short in database scalability, facing challenges with concurrent user management and processing. To truly harness cloud benefits and meet peak demands, organizations must consider horizontally scalable, cloud-native databases over traditional, monolithic SQL systems.
Black Friday 2023 witnessed significant growth in online sales, with Cyber Monday setting new records, highlighting the continued relevance of these peak shopping days. Despite the surge in online shopping, overall holiday spending is only expected to increase slightly, suggesting a shift towards more online purchases.
Peak events like record-breaking concerts and Black Friday sales, along with unpredictable freak events such as adverse weather and cloud outages, are pushing legacy database technology’s limits in scalability and resilience.
