This session will delve into the benefits of using Distributed SQL for microservices. We will discuss the challenges of managing multiple databases in a microservices environment, such as complexity, inefficiency, and cost. Our focus will be on YugabyteDB, an Open Source and PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL database, which offers a potential solution to these challenges. Modern SQL databases are multi-model, including relational, document, text search, timeseries and more and YugabyteDB is multi-API. Combined with horizontal scalability, Distributed SQL offers a single database solution for microservices.
