Cockroach Lab’s decision to move away from open source has reignited the debate on the long-term viability of open source projects, and how companies can find success with this business model. Discover why Yugabyte co-founder Karthik Ranganathan believes that open source (and PostgreSQL) is the future, and the reasons why YugabyteDB is (and will continue to be) fully open.

In Java development, garbage collection is a routine task. Applications generate garbage all the time. And that garbage is meticulously cleaned out by CMS, G1, Azul C4 and other types of collectors. Basically, our applications are born to bring value to this world, but nothing is perfect—including our applications that leave litter in the Java heap.
However, the story doesn’t end with the Java heap. In fact, it only starts there. Let’s take the example of a basic Java application that uses a relational database—such as PostgreSQL—and solid state drives (SSDs) as a storage device.

Kubernetes has become widely adopted in the Fortune 500. Many companies are now using the platform to run stateless and stateful applications on-premises or as hybrid cloud deployments in production. Of course, with any new technology, there are growing pains when running resilient Kubernetes workloads. But most executives and developers agree that the benefits far outweigh the challenges.
Data on the Kubernetes ecosystem is evolving rapidly with the rise of stateful applications. However,

Ebean is a Java-based Object–Relational Mapping (ORM) application. It is more user-friendly and understandable than traditional ORM tools, such as Hibernate. It achieves this by employing a session-less design that eliminates the concepts of detached/attached beans as well as the difficulties related with flushing/clearing.
Even better, Ebean supports YugabyteDB, a 100% open source, distributed SQL database built to accelerate cloud native agility, lower costs, and reduce risks without vendor lock-in.

A distributed SQL database is a single logical relational database deployed on a cluster of servers. The database automatically replicates and distributes data across multiple servers. These databases are strongly consistent and support consistency across availability and geographic zones in the cloud.
At a minimum, a distributed SQL database has the following characteristics:
But should you run a distributed SQL database in Kubernetes?

In the first post in this series, we covered how to secure YugabyteDB’s internal RPC protocol using the TLS encryption protocol, also referred to as server-to-server encryption in transit. In this post, we secure the communication between SQL clients and the PostgresQL query interface of YugabyteDB, also called client-to-server encryption in transit.
YugabyteDB—a 100% open source, distributed SQL database built to accelerate cloud native agility—stores important user and customer data at an organization.
