One thing possibly holding some folks back is the version of Postgres it's held back to. Right now YDB has PostgreSQL 12 comparability. Support for PG15 is under active development, so hopefully it's a 2025 feature. I really wanted to be able to actually use YugabyteDB for once, but our developers reportedly are using PG15+ features.

YDB is another database, they unfortunately didn't protect that trademark.

But they do call it yugabyteDB, YugabyteDB, YugaByte DB, yugabyte-db, and Yugabyte.

Right now it's based on PostgreSQL 11.2 with some patches pulled from newer releases. The upgrade will be to PG 15, and includes work to make further PG upgrades easier (think online upgrading a cluster on postgresql major versions).
