Powerful, PostgreSQL-Compatible Distributed SQL for Global, Consistent Scaling
What do you like best about the product?
YugabyteDB is a powerful distributed SQL database that combines PostgreSQL compatibility with horizontal scalability and strong consistency. What I especially appreciate is its ability to support global, multi-region deployments while still maintaining ACID transactions. Its PostgreSQL wire compatibility also makes migrations easier and helps reduce the learning curve for teams that already know PostgreSQL.
Features like automatic sharding, replication, and built-in fault tolerance make it a strong fit for high-availability applications. That said, it can feel operationally complex for smaller projects, and managing clusters effectively requires solid DevOps knowledge. Overall, I see YugabyteDB as an excellent option for modern, cloud-native applications that need to scale without sacrificing data consistency or reliability.

What do you dislike about the product?
While powerful, YugabyteDB can be operationally complex and resource-intensive. Managing distributed clusters requires strong DevOps expertise, and troubleshooting performance issues may be challenging. Some PostgreSQL extensions are not fully supported, which can limit compatibility. For small or simple applications, the overhead and infrastructure cost may feel unnecessary for many teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using YugabyteDB, we struggled with database scalability and availability. Our traditional relational database relied on vertical scaling, which drove up infrastructure costs and increased the risk of downtime during peak loads. Multi-region deployment was also complex, and failover processes were largely manual.
As transaction volumes grew, it became harder to maintain zero downtime. With YugabyteDB, we can now scale horizontally across regions using automatic sharding and replication. This has improved system availability (99.99% uptime), reduced downtime during scaling, and enabled faster transaction processing.
From an operational standpoint, we’ve cut down on manual failover work and made deployments more efficient. Overall, this has saved significant maintenance time while improving application reliability and performance.

Scalable, Resilient, and Robust—Built to Distribute
What do you like best about the product?
Scalability, resilience, robustness, and a distributive nature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its a little bit over engineered for micro services
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asynchronous and synchronised replication
Seamless with Standard ORMs and Drivers—Intuitive and Comfortable to Use
What do you like best about the product?
Because it works seamlessly with standard ORMs and drivers, it feels very intuitive and “comfortable” for developers to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
If your app doesn’t require high availability or massive scale, then the sheer power of YugabyteDB may simply add complexity you don’t really need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While it still needs more baseline power, its ability to auto-shard and balance workloads helps prevent over-provisioning and cuts down on the manual effort and costs involved in database administration.
A Reliable Distributed SQL Database for High-Availability Applications
What do you like best about the product?
This is a strong fit for high-volume OLTP workloads and geo-distributed deployments where low latency matters. I also value the automatic sharding and replication, which work without manual intervention. High availability is another key benefit, with no single point of failure. Overall, it suits cloud-native architectures where resilience and scalability are critical.
What do you dislike about the product?
YugabyteDB can feel operationally complex, particularly when it comes to initial setup, upgrades, and performance tuning, and it really benefits from solid distributed-systems knowledge to manage effectively. While it provides PostgreSQL compatibility, some PostgreSQL features and extensions aren’t fully supported, which can introduce friction during migrations. It also tends to have higher resource overhead than traditional single-node databases, so it may be less suitable for smaller deployments or cost-sensitive workloads. On top of that, debugging and troubleshooting distributed performance issues can be time-consuming at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
YugabyteDB addresses the challenge of operating databases that are highly available, scalable, and strongly consistent without giving up SQL capabilities. It helps eliminate single points of failure and supports horizontal scaling while maintaining PostgreSQL compatibility, which lowers operational risk and makes development simpler. For us, this translates into better application reliability, support for increasing transaction volumes, and the ability to run geo-distributed deployments with low latency and minimal downtime.
Scalable and Compatible, But Needs Transaction Improvements
What do you like best about the product?
I use YugabyteDB as our production application database and appreciate its horizontal scalability and strong ACID compliance. The PostgreSQL compatibility stands out for me, especially in terms of indexing, query tuning, and query optimization. Despite some initial setup efforts, it's now working well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have issues with serializable isolation in YugabyteDB. Also, transaction ergonomics could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use YugabyteDB for horizontal scalability and strong ACID compliance.
Scalable and Reliable, But Setup is Complex
What do you like best about the product?
I like that YugabyteDB offers low latency for regional users. I also appreciate how it supports traditional workflows and provides enterprise-grade reliability. These aspects are important as we plan to rely on it for global scale, high availability, and strong consistency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Operational complexity and simple day-to-day tasks can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I plan to use YugabyteDB for global scale, high availability, and ensuring ACID transactions across regions, which helps in surviving region failures. It offers low latency for regional users and supports traditional workflows with enterprise-grade reliability.
PostgreSQL-Compatible, Massively Scalable, and Highly Available Open Source
What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL compatibility, massive scalability, high availability (HA) and fault tolerance, strong consistency, and open source.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not 100% PostgreSQL-compatible, and because it’s distributed, it can be complex to debug. I’ve also noticed higher resource usage, along with additional operational overhead to manage and maintain it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional databases cannot scale horizontally. Single-node databases are not highly available. NoSQL can scale, but it lacks SQL and ACID. Postgres also runs into connection bottlenecks.
