Build an application

Use your favorite programming language to build an application that uses YSQL or YCQL APIs.

Applications connect to and interact with YugabyteDB using API client libraries (also known as client drivers). The tutorials in this section show how to connect applications to Yugabyte Cloud clusters using available drivers and ORMs.

Because the YugabyteDB YSQL API is PostgreSQL-compatible, and the YCQL API has roots in the Apache Cassandra CQL, YugabyteDB supports many third-party drivers. For details about supported client drivers (by programming language), see Drivers.

For more advanced applications, including Spring and GraphQL examples, refer to Example applications.
