Outstanding Features

Open Source Database Empowering Your Business

Highly Compatible with MySQL

Fully compatible with the MySQL protocol, from data types, SQL syntax, to functions/expressions, and the optimizer, OceanBase allows for migration without modifying application code. It supports the MySQL Binlog protocol, seamlessly integrating with the downstream data ecosystem of MySQL.

Performant and Scalable "MySQL"

Balances the scalability of distributed architecture with the performance benefits of centralized structures. In distributed scenarios, it achieves a TPC-C benchmark of 707 million tpmC, and in single-instance primary-secondary configurations with 4-core specifications, its performance is 1.8 times that of MySQL 8.0, reliably handling critical workloads of any scale.

Enhanced Stability and High Availability

Tested and proven with over 1000 users in production systems, it meets the business continuity requirements under stringent conditions. Its distributed form can achieve automatic failure recovery with RPO=0 and RTO<8s, while single-instance primary-secondary configurations have a failure switch-over time RTO<3s, minimizing business application latency disruptions to the greatest extent.

Data Architecture for Multi-tenancy

Natively supports multi-tenant architecture and resource isolation capabilities, allowing a single cluster to serve multiple independent businesses. It provides DBaaS capabilities for typical resource-isolated tenant scenarios such as database integration and SAAS, enhancing resource utilization and greatly simplifying the operational complexity of database infrastructure.

Transparent High-Ratio Compression

Through the LSM-Tree storage engine and advanced data compression technology, it saves up to 70-90% in storage costs, offering superior solutions for historical databases, Hbase, and other large-volume, low-query scenarios.

HTAP for Real-Time Data Analytics

Supports both transaction processing and real-time analytics workloads on a single set of data. It does not interfere with critical business processes or incur additional costs, providing fast query analysis capabilities for real-time computing, real-time data warehousing, and other scenarios, accelerating real-time business insights.
