A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Geo-Distributed Applications
To illustrate how to build a geo-distributed application, we will use as an example a Slack-like messaging app. This step-by-step guide starts with the distributed application and API layers, continues on to the distributed SQL database, and finishes with the need/purpose of the global cloud load balancer.

What Makes the Architecture of Geo-Distributed Apps Different and Better
In an earlier blog, we broke down the definition of geo-distributed apps. So now let’s compare and contrast geo-distributed apps those apps that are deployed within a single data center or availability zone. A good way to make this comparison to understand the differences and find the similarities is to drill down into the architecture.

A Quick Introduction to Geo-Distributed Apps
So what is a geo-distributed app? It is generally defined as an app that spans multiple geographic locations for high availability and resiliency. However, Iet’s expand (and then break down) that definition for a better understanding.

What Every Application Developer Needs to Know About Geo-Distributed Databases
I’ve been working with distributed systems, platforms, and databases for the last seven years. Back in 2015, many architects began using distributed databases to scale beyond the boundaries of a single machine or server. They selected such a database for its horizontal scalability, even if its performance remained comparable to a conventional single-server database.
Now, with the rise of cloud native applications and serverless architecture, distributed databases need to do more than provide horizontal scalability.

9 Techniques to Build Cloud-Native, Geo-Distributed SQL Apps with Low Latency
This post is an in-depth look at the various techniques that applications needing low latency and high availability can leverage while using a geo-distributed SQL database like YugabyteDB so that the negative impacts of a high-latency, unreliable Wide Area Network (WAN) are minimized.
