Yugabyte Named in Gartner® Hype Cycle™ For Data Management, 2025 and Hype Cycle for Cloud Computing, 2025

Yugabyte was founded in 2016 because we saw a gap in the market. Businesses were becoming increasingly digitally native and operationally distributed, driving a need for cloud-native, distributed transactional databases.

Yugabyte has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in two Gartner Hype Cycle Reports – Hype Cycle for Data Management, 2025, and Hype Cycle for Cloud Computing, 2025.

Several drivers are leading to the increased adoption of intercloud data management solutions, which are recognized as emerging in the Hype Cycle for Cloud Computing, 2025. Today’s enterprises manage vast amounts of data across multiple environments, making intercloud capabilities essential to meet performance, latency, cost and regulatory requirements. In a global landscape, organizations depend on the flexibility and scalability that distributed, cloud-native architectures provide.

As businesses embrace hybrid and multi-cloud environments and accelerate AI adoption, the pressure to maintain data consistency, performance, and resilience across distributed systems has never been higher. In the Hype Cycle for Data Management, 2025 report. Gartner states that “systems that support distributed transactions also offer the highest levels of resilience and fault tolerance.” This is a core driver of YugabyteDB. We designed YugabyteDB to be ultra-resilient so that organizations can run mission-critical applications with confidence across distributed environments.

In July, we debuted standout features in YugabyteDB 2025.1, which ensure ultra-resilient, globally distributed applications for YugabyteDB users. These new capabilities, including YugabyteDB MCP Server, multi-modal API support, and extended vector search functionality, enable organizations to run more effective and future-proof GenAI and AI-powered apps.

YugabyteDB has become the database of choice for enterprise developers seeking resilience, scalability, and cost efficiency to drive critical business applications and fuel AI advancement. Recognition in recent Gartner Hype Cycles further validates Yugabyte’s position at the forefront of distributed transactional databases and intercloud data management markets. We look forward to building on this success as we continue to support enterprises navigate growing challenges and help them capitalize on new opportunities, from optimizing business-critical applications to embracing AI innovations.
