OceanBase, the enterprise-class distributed SQL database, has been supporting the Double 11 Shopping Festival (the biggest online shopping festival in the world) for 9 consecutive years by 2023.
It is designed to deliver ultra-fast performance, elastic scalability, and cost-efficiency for your transaction and analytical workloads.
But how could OceanBase achieve all these?
Scalability
The OceanBase Database provides transparent scalability and automatic workload balancing capabilities. Up until now, an OceanBase cluster can be scaled out to 1,500 nodes transparently, handling petabytes of data and a trillion rows of records.
Real-time HTAP
The OceanBase Database has been trying to tackle the technical challenge in an HTAP architecture. It has refreshed the records of both TPC-C and TPC-H tests, in 2020 and 2021 respectively. It now enables transactions and analytical complex queries with just one copy of data, which empowers you to make real-time business decisions.
Ultra-fast Performance
As a native distributed database, OceanBase performs 2-3 times faster than other distributed databases in terms of reading and writing capabilities, according to our Sysbench test results.
Also, OceanBase supports the Double 11 Shopping Festival for 9 consecutive years by 2023, at about 60 million QPS, dozens of times larger than the Black Friday traffic.
Cost Efficiency
With the high-compression technology adopted, the OceanBase Database can save you up to 75% storage. In addition, the multitenant flexibility enables better resource utilization, thus reducing costs.
Continuous Availability
Business continuity is important as it directly affects revenues and customer experience. The OceanBase Database is resilient to disasters with the Paxos Consensus algorithm adopted. It achieves Recovery Point Objective, RPO, equals to 0 and Recovery Time Objective, RTO, less than 8 seconds, meaning no data loss and disaster recovery in less than 8 seconds in case of a failure or outage, even at a city level.
In Alipay, OceanBase has been steadily supporting more than 2 million core clusters in mission-critical scenarios for over ten years. It is deployed in three IDCs across two cities in Alipay's Business Continuity Plan.
The OceanBase Database provides excellent database kernel capabilities and a set of ecosystem tools covering deployment, migration, development, and maintenance, delivering a developer-friendly experience.
The OceanBase Database is open source on GitHub. You can either deploy it locally or on cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Pick whichever method meets your personalized IT architecture requirements.
OceanBase is committed to helping businesses deal with your big data challenges in the rapidly evolving digital era.
