About

Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, an open-source, cloud-native distributed SQL database built for global-scale transactional applications. Founded in 2016 by three former Facebook engineers — Kannan Muthukkaruppan, Karthik Ranganathan, and Mikhail Bautin — who previously built Facebook's Cassandra and HBase implementations, Yugabyte designed YugabyteDB to combine PostgreSQL compatibility with the horizontal scalability of NoSQL systems. YugabyteDB is fully open source under Apache 2.0, supports over 1 million transactions per second, and is deployed across 100+ countries. The company also offers YugabyteDB Aeon, a fully managed database-as-a-service on major public clouds, enabling businesses to run business-critical workloads with high availability, global distribution, and ACID compliance without managing infrastructure.
