# YugabyteDB

A distributed PostgreSQL-compatible database sold as open-source software or a managed cloud service for AI-driven, cloud-native, and enterprise applications.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → dependency to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** YugabyteDB is a data layer that applications built with Vercel would depend on for distributed, resilient storage, and Vercel would stop working correctly without such a database if it were integrated.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> YugabyteDB: AI-Ready, Distributed, Postgres-Compatible Database

> distributed PostgreSQL database for cloud-native apps

**Edges:**

- competitor [[instaclustr-com]]
