Yugabyte
Distributed PostgreSQL database for AI-native and agentic workloads
Yugabyte is a PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL database available as open source software under the Apache 2.0 license and as a managed database-as-a-service called YugabyteDB Aeon. It addresses the need to run relational, vector, and graph data models in one engine, supporting applications that require elastic scale and high availability across zones, regions, and clouds. Deployments can run on Kubernetes in Yugabyte's cloud, in a customer VPC, in a data center, or fully air-gapped.
The product line includes YugabyteDB Voyager for migrating data from other databases, YugabyteDB AMP for per-tenant databases managed by agents, and Meko, a multi-agent context layer exposing shared conversations, memory, knowledge, and decision traces through MCP, REST, and UI. YugabyteDB supports stored procedures, triggers, extensions, vector indexing, and SQL-based vector similarity search, with integrations including LangChain, Ollama, LlamaIndex, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI. It runs on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
YugabyteDB is aimed at developers, architects, operators, and business leaders working on database modernization, cloud-native applications, and GenAI or RAG workloads. YugabyteDB Aeon is offered as a free trial, while the open source database can be downloaded at no cost.
