Yugabyte earned this designation in the NoSQL/NewSQL category for its industry-leading distributed database YugabyteDB. This designation recognizes that Yugabyte has demonstrated proven cloud native relational database technology that helps customers achieve their goals of running business-critical workloads on AWS.

YugabyteDB is the leading PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database for modern transactional applications. It is essentially distributed PostgreSQL with built-in resilience and seamless scalability.

To receive the designation, APN members must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.

“YugabyteDB is distributed PostgreSQL that scales and never fails,” said Karthik Ranganathan, CTO and co-founder, Yugabyte. “We have fully embraced PostgreSQL while eliminating known limitations and turbocharging it to handle the needs of modern, cloud-native applications. YugabyteDB is designed to run on industry-leading cloud platforms like AWS. YugabyteDB provides an infinitely scalable, geo-distributed, resilient database with flexible deployment options for any transactional workloads built on AWS.
