YugabyteDB
AI-ready, distributed PostgreSQL database for cloud-native apps

YugabyteDB is a distributed, PostgreSQL-compatible relational database designed for cloud-native applications. It offers built-in high availability, seamless horizontal scalability, and enterprise-grade features including vector search for AI/RAG workloads. The product is available both as a managed cloud service (YugabyteDB Aeon) and as an open-source download.
YugabyteDB extends PostgreSQL with a distributed architecture that automatically shards data, replicates across zones/regions/clouds, and supports multi-master writes while maintaining SQL compatibility and ACID transactions.
