YugabyteDB Performance Benefits
YugabyteDB's storage method provides fast query performance even with high concurrency and large number of versions. It uses RocksDB, which stores data in immutable SST files, making snapshots and incremental backups efficient.
YugabyteDB uses PostgreSQL code to handle SQL queries without the challenges associated with PostgreSQL storage, such as bloat, vacuum, and transaction ID wraparound. Additionally, it avoids the complexities of a separate undo segment, which can lead to lengthy rollbacks and recovery. The storage system in YugabyteDB, using RocksDB LSM tree, is designed for distribution, replication, and auto-sharding. It leverages modern shared-nothing infrastructure with Solid-State Disks (SSD) commonly found in public and private clouds, where random reads are quick, but sequential writes are better than ra...
