About Product

What is OceanBase?

OceanBase is an enterprise-grade, cloud-native relational database system designed to manage both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads in a single platform. Unlike traditional databases, OceanBase uses a distributed architecture that supports seamless horizontal scaling—allowing businesses to grow from gigabytes to petabytes of data without rewriting their applications.

Available both as a fully managed cloud service (OceanBase Dedicated) and as an on-premise/private deployment (OceanBase Database), it offers flexibility for organizations with varying infrastructure needs.

Key Capabilities

OceanBase combines high throughput, low latency, and strong consistency across geographically distributed clusters. Some of its core features include:

• Horizontal Scalability: Easily scale to thousands of nodes and support massive datasets with minimal performance tradeoffs.
   

• Unified HTAP Architecture: Perform real-time analytics and transactional processing on the same dataset—no need for separate ETL or analytics pipelines.
   

• High Availability: Using the Paxos consensus protocol, OceanBase ensures zero data loss and fast recovery (under 8 seconds) in case of failures.
   

• MySQL & Oracle Compatibility: Drop-in support for MySQL and Oracle interfaces reduces migration complexity and enables seamless integration with existing systems.
   

• Cost Optimization: OceanBase's use of Log-Structured Merge (LSM) tree storage, compression, and multi-tenancy helps reduce storage requirements and total cost of ownership (TCO) significantly.

OceanBase supports over 2,000 enterprise customers across Asia and beyond. Notable adopters include:
