Mattermost is an open-source collaboration platform that uses PostgreSQL for its database. As a developer heavily involved with Mattermost, I constantly explore new technologies. Recently, I came across YugabyteDB and decided to test it as a replacement for PostgreSQL. In this tech talk, I will share my previous experience with another distributed database and how it compares with my experience with YugabyteDB. Also, I will share the results of running load tests on Yugabyte and how it compares to regular Postgres.
