Yugabyte at KubeCon 2025: Building AI-Ready Distributed PostgreSQL Apps | Cloud Native Database

YugabyteDB Showcases Ultra-Resilient Distributed SQL at KubeCon CloudNativeCon 2025

In this exclusive VMblog interview, Ajay Khanna, Chief Marketing Officer at Yugabyte, discusses how distributed PostgreSQL is evolving for the AI era and why ultra-resilience matters more than ever for modern cloud-native applications.

Key Highlights:
What is YugabyteDB?
YugabyteDB is an AI-ready, multi-model distributed SQL database that's 100% PostgreSQL-compatible. It combines the familiarity and ecosystem of PostgreSQL with cloud-native distributed architecture designed for high availability, scalability, and geo-distribution.

Real-World Impact:
Ajay shares compelling customer success stories, including how Paramount Plus scaled from 70 million to 120 million concurrent users during the Super Bowl after migrating to YugabyteDB, eliminating the streaming outages that plagued their previous infrastructure.

Why Database Resilience Matters:
With recent cloud outages affecting major providers, the need for fault-tolerant architecture has never been more critical. YugabyteDB's distributed approach ensures applications continue running even when entire availability zones go down.

AI-Ready and AI-Enabled:
Learn how YugabyteDB supports modern AI applications through built-in vector capabilities for RAG applications, while also using AI to power database management through natural language interfaces and agentic performance advisors.
