Strategic Shift to YugabyteDB as Core Database

on YouTube ↗13m

" summary

Thoughtbox standardizes on YugabyteDB as the single core database, migrates from Postgres using Yugabyte Voyager, and deploys stretch cluster and xCluster topologies. The change delivers zero downtime, zero data loss in production for a Qatar fintech client (uniqatar), cuts latency and resource usage, removes an extra load‑balancer layer via the Yugabyte smart driver, and lets microservices scale horizontally. Migration, benchmarking and piloting complete successfully and the deployment runs in full production.
