Yugabyte, the leader in open source distributed SQL databases, today announced it has been named a 2020 Cool Vendor in Data Management1 by Gartner.

YugabyteDB is the only open source, distributed SQL database that offers two APIs—a fully-relational SQL API and semi-relational SQL API—that implement the same wire protocol, data modeling, and query capabilities as that of existing databases. This allows developers to seamlessly transition to a cloud native, distributed database platform by leveraging existing tools and integrations. This ability to reuse existing skills is essential at a time when data leaders are charged with identifying ways to deliver projects faster and with a lower cost of operations.
