-## Main YDB advantages
+## Main YDB Advantages
-YDB is not based on any existent database management software that's why YDB development team has less boundaries in implementing DistributedSQL database for modern applications.
+YDB was designed from scratch as a response to growing demand for scalable interactive web services. Scalability, strict consistency and effective cross-row transactions were a must for such OLTP-like workload. YDB was built by people with strong background in databases and distributed systems, who had an experience of developing No-SQL database and the Map-Reduce system for the one of the largest search engine in the world.
+We found that YDB's flexibles design allows us to build more services on top of it including persistent queues and virtual block devices.
Basic YDB features:
- - Fault-tolerant configuration that survive disk, node, rack or even datacenter outage
- - Horizontal scalability
- - Automatic disaster recovery with minimum latency disruptions for applications
- - Standard SQL for data manipulation and scheme definition
- - ACID transactions across multiple nodes and tables with strict consistency

+ - Automatic disaster recovery with minimum latency disruptions for applications;
+ - SQL dialect (YQL) for data manipulation and scheme definition;
+ - ACID transactions across multiple nodes and tables with strict consistency.
### Fault-tolerant configurations
-YDB Platform could be deployed in three different zones. Cluster remains both read and write available during complete outage of a single zone (datacenter).
