After 17 months of baking, over 5000 commits, we’re excited to announce the launch of Bytebase 3.0 today!
Expanded Databases
Bytebase 2.0 supported 12 database types. With Bytebase 3.0, this number has increased to 22. Redshift, StarRocks, RisingWave, Hive, Elasticsearch, BigQuery, DynamoDB, Databricks, CockroachDB, and OceanBase (Oracle Mode) are new additions. Bytebase aims to be the single database development platform for managing and developing all the diverse databases in your organization.
Securing Database Operations
Security is fundamental to database operations. Unfortunately, many standard solutions tend to compromise security in favor of efficiency, resulting in wide-open access, while others take the opposite approach, locking down access completely.
Bytebase provides a collaboration workspace for developers, DBAs, and security engineers to handle human-to-db database operations:
- Schema migration.
- One-off, ad-hoc change.
- Data query.
In addition to centralizing database operations, Bytebase offers features such as SQL Review for linting SQL statements, one-click rollbacks, data access control, and dynamic data masking. To deliver these capabilities, Bytebase must comprehend the SQL dialects of various target database systems, which is why we build custom parsers for each of them.
AI Assistant
Databases are ideal candidates for leveraging recent AI breakthroughs. In addition to the well-known Text2SQL capability, Bytebase integrates AI in various other ways:
- Suggesting index optimizations for slow queries.
- Explaining cryptic stored procedures.
- Fixing and rewriting SQL statements.
Revamped API
We’ve completely rebuilt our API infrastructure. The new API speaks both gRPC and HTTP/REST, offering fine-grained IAM permissions that allow for precise control over every aspect of Bytebase. Our customers utilize the Bytebase API in ways that best suit their needs:
- Create custom GitOps workflows to review and deploy database changes.
- Embed the Bytebase SQL Editor and configure data access and masking policies through the API.
- Operate Bytebase in headless mode, using it solely as a database deployment backend.
https://api.bytebase.com is versatile, the Bytebase UI console itself is built entirely on this API.
Our Continued Mission
As an open-source project, Bytebase has surpassed 11,000 GitHub stars, making it the fastest-growing database project.
It has been downloaded over 4 million times worldwide, reaching users from a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to some of the most successful game developers on the planet. The 3.0 release is a steady step toward our founding mission from 2021: to become the unified platform for all human-to-database operations across all databases.
You can obtain Bytebase directly or through the AWS and GCP marketplaces. To learn more, schedule a demo with us.
Upgrading to version 3.0 is designed to be straightforward—just increase the version number and restart (but don’t forget to back up your data as a precaution), please refer to the upgrade guide.
