" summary

Open-source YugabyteDB claims full Postgres-compatible SQL while replacing Postgres storage with a distributed layer of tablet shards, using Raft-based replication and leader/follower replicas for automatic failover and rebalancing. Releases: v1.0 in 2018, current stable 2.0.2 and latest 2.13 with materialized-view and query performance improvements. Demos show a stateless query layer, follower reads for low-latency reads, xCluster one-way and bi-directional replication for multi-region, Prometheus/backup integration and a dashboard for upgrades and health checks.
