Real-Time Scalable GraphQL and JAMstack with Gatsby, Hasura, and YugabyteDB

JAMstack is a new way of building websites and apps. It’s not a technology but rather an architectural pattern that is growing in popularity. In JAMstack, the JAM acronym stands for JavaScript, API, and Markup, and the main idea behind the technology is that web applications don’t have to rely on the application server to be fully functional and robust.

There are four primary benefits of adopting a JAMstack architecture.

It has a simple yet powerful data model and query language, however, it can often pose a bit of a challenge when it comes to high availability as well as for historical metric data storage. Adding more Prometheus replicas can be used to improve availability, but otherwise, Prometheus does not offer continuous availability. For example, if one of the Prometheus replicas crashes,

Open Source Geo-Distributed Relational Database on Multi-Cluster Kubernetes

Google Spanner, conceived in 2007 for internal use in Google AdWords, has been rightly considered a marvel of modern software engineering. This is because it is the world’s first horizontally-scalable relational database that can be stretched not only across multiple nodes in a single data center but also across multiple geo-distributed data centers, without compromising ACID transactional guarantees. In 2012,

This is becoming essential to meet the seamless experience demanded by business applications and their users. High availability and scalability in NoSQL databases like Apache Cassandra and MongoDB are well understood, but have been challenging problems to solve in relational databases.
