The newest iteration of Yugabyte's open source database improves on the existing high availability, horizontal scalability, and ease-of-use characteristics of YugabyteDB, furthering the company's mission of providing the default distributed SQL database for cloud-native applications in a multi-cloud world.

The release of YugabyteDB 2.4 stabilizes the features and capabilities included in the YugabyteDB 2.3 development release.

These new multi-region capabilities paired with key security features for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol integrations, audit logging, and code audit and penetration testing strengthen YugabyteDB's position as the most secure open source distributed SQL database for cloud-native and multi-region deployments with the most complete set of PostgreSQL-compatible features.

"Yugabyte is building the distributed SQL database for the cloud-native world," said Karthik Ranganathan, CTO, Yugabyte.

"The release of YugabyteDB 2.4 accelerates our mission of providing the distributed database of choice for multi-cloud environments."

This release enables you to use the latest features of Apache Spark 3 with the Yugabyte YCQL API. As a part of this integration, the Yugabyte YCQL driver has been certified with the latest version of Apache Cassandra 4.6.n. Simplified cluster administration: The release includes several useful extensions such as pg stat statements, uuid-ossp, and pgcrypto, which are all pre-installed and loaded into YugabyteDB by default.
