Yugabyte is the company behind open source YugabyteDB, a high-performance, PostgreSQL-compatible, distributed database for cloud native applications. 

Built using a unique combination of high-performance document store, auto sharding, per-shard distributed consensus replication and multi-shard ACID transactions (inspired by Google Spanner), YugabyteDB serves both scale-out RDBMS and internet-scale OLTP workloads with low query latency, extreme resilience against failures and global data distribution. 

As a cloud native database, it can be deployed across public and private clouds as well as in Kubernetes environments with ease. We are backed by top-tier investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sapphire Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital, Alkeon Capital, Meritech Capital, 8VC, Wipro Ventures, and Wells Fargo Strategic Capital.
