People and Potential: Why I Joined Yugabyte
When I first started my graduate studies in databases in 2012, I remember reading a freshly-minted paper that was making big waves in the DB community: Spanner: Google’s Globally-Distributed Database. I remember being blown away by the scale of the problems being tackled. Synchronizing a globally-distributed database while maintaining a usable transaction latency seemed an impossible task, one that comes with challenges that only exist on the global scale. As a naive grad student,

How my Wish to Contribute to Open Source Lead me To Join Yugabyte
Databases are omnipresent
Back in 2016 I started at Nutanix, fresh after finishing my graduate studies. This was barely a couple of weeks after two of Nutanix’s employees, Karthik and Kannan, left to start Yugabyte with Mikhail Bautin. They were still the subject of a few watercooler chats at Nutanix, mainly because of their bold decision to enter the database market, one that is definitely not known for being easy.
It became apparent to me why databases are hard.

The Average Dreamer
Editor’s note: Yugabyte is hiring! See all the job openings and consider applying.
Intro

Ever heard these words from your manager?

The Call to Adventure
My distributed SQL story begins late in 2019, back at my previous internship at a Norwegian startup called Cognite. While I was there, my team lead would always talk about how awesome distributed databases are, and also about his side project where he was building a small distributed SQL database from scratch in Rust (check it out here).

INSERT INTO Yugabyte (We’re Hiring, April 2020)
Since our last hiring post, a lot has changed in the world around us (and even that is an understatement). The coronavirus is having a devastating effect on people and communities around the globe. Now more than a million people have gotten sick (or worse), many others are economically impacted, losing jobs, businesses are shutting down, and activities we perhaps once took for granted–everything from dining out, to birthday celebrations, or visiting loved ones–are either no longer happening or are dramatically different.

Recapping My Internship at Yugabyte – Jayden Navarro
It was a warm day in early October, and two large white tents occupied the lawn that sits between the Gates, Hewlett, and Packard buildings. Companies pasted the word “AI” in big bold letters across their banners, and students formed long lines, resumes in-hand, eager to learn about the Next Big Thing and how often the company cafeteria serves Poké.
Six months prior I had made the decision to leave my comfortable job as a Software Engineer in the networking industry and pursue a Masters degree in Computer Science at Stanford,
