YugabyteDB a distributed postgres database.

Think of it as a true drop in replacement for postgres that runs on multiple nodes. It internally does replication, sharding and leader election. Just add more nodes and you get to increase both read and write scale.

I personally am working on a few things like online major upgrades, async replication for DR, enhanced backup/restore/pitr/clone capabilities, and more recently supporting DocumentDB extension which provides a true Mongodb API.

Being a startup I also get to talk with large customers, help with marketing content, and participate in database conferences.
