Jepsen tests and a chaos-driven testing framework play a crucial role in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities. However, traditional testing methods fall short for cloud-native applications and distributed systems. This blog provides the latest Jepsen updates for YugabyteDB, as well as sharing information on additional in-house built frameworks for resiliency and consistency testing that go far beyond Jepsen.
YugabyteDB 2.0 is now available! This release features the production-ready Yugabyte SQL (YSQL) API. Discover new updates, including performance benchmarks, Jepsen test results, and a sneak peek at upcoming Beta features.
YugabyteDB v1.3.1.2’s SQL API successfully passed Jepsen testing, led by Kyle Kingsbury, except for transactional DDL support—a feature we’ll soon add. YSQL will be production-ready in the upcoming YugabyteDB v2.0 release.
If you missed the April 30 webinar with Kyle Kingsbury, the creator of Jepsen and Karthik Ranganathan, CTO at YugaByte, you can check out the playback here and download the slides here.
Kyle did a great deep-dive into his testing approach, research methodology and what he found when applied to YugabyteDB. If you are looking for an unvarnished and honest assessment of YugabyteDB’s consistency and transactional claims,

Last year we published our DIY Jepsen testing results – including the tests and failure modes implemented as well as the bugs found. We recently engaged Kyle Kingsbury, the creator of the Jepsen test suite, for an official analysis and are happy to report that YugabyteDB 1.2 formally passes Jepsen tests using the YCQL API.

We announced the general availability of YugabyteDB 1.1 earlier this week. This post gives you a deep dive into the various features of YugabyteDB 1.1.
We have performed our own Jepsen testing on YugabyteDB, and the open-source repository reveals no correctness failures; we’re also working on adding more tests to ensure our database holds true to its promises.
