YugabyteDB

Open-source distributed SQL database with a PostgreSQL-compatible query layer (YSQL) and a Cassandra-style one (YCQL).

YugabyteDB is a distributed SQL database that runs as YB-TServer and YB-Master server processes. The yugabyted utility starts and manages them on a laptop, and its reference says it also runs production deployments on VMs. The quick start installs from a tar.gz archive and sets up a single-host cluster for development, and the Helm chart guide covers a Kubernetes install, shown on Amazon EKS.

YugabyteDB Aeon is the fully managed cloud service that runs next to the open-source database.
