I don't have any direct experience with Yugabyte (the databases I work
with are way too small to be on Yugabyte) but my older son does work
for them as an SRE, sometimes remotely when he's visiting us, so we've
talked about it a bit.  (It's actually the first time in 20 years I've
had much of a clue about what he's working with.)
