Building a reliable, transactional cloud native database with Karthik Ranganathan

Building a reliable, transactional cloud native database with Karthik Ranganathan

This week, I talked with Karthik Ranganathan about the challenges going from employee of a large company to startup frounder and why he founded Yugabyte because he wanted a database that both was transactional and still could be highly available.


Highlights:


Why the ability to scale is important for any cloud native application, including for a cloud native database.


Why Yugabyte is still open source and why being open source is important to the company.


Why enterprises wanted an open source database to house their mission-critical data.


Why the company went from an open core model to open source / managed service model.


Why end customers care about open source.


Why early-stage, small companies have trouble establishing trust and how being open source helps build trust.


Why building around open source helps nudge customers to ‘buy’ instead of built it themselves.


Why finding the right position and the right message is a major challenge at the beginning of the company.
