Ant Group's self-developed database OceanBase will be open source in the near future

According to reports, the OceanBase self-developed database of Ant Group will be open sourced in the near future, and the time can be locked until June 1 at the earliest. By then, developers will be able to download and experience the OceanBase source code through the OceanBase official website and GitHub. This will be a key step for OceanBase to be sold from closed source software and move towards the transformation of an open source business model.

OceanBase is a purely domestic database that is 100% independently developed by Ant Group and has undergone long-term tests in large-scale business scenarios such as Alibaba's "Double Eleven" and all core data of Alipay. On June 1st last year, Ant Group registered with 100 million yuan and held 100% shares of Beijing Aoxingbeisi Technology Co., Ltd. through new foreign investment. The OceanBase database was formally operated independently as a company.

It is understood that in the latest data analysis benchmark test (TPC-H) list released by the official website of the International Transaction Processing Performance Committee (TPC) recently, the distributed relational database OceanBase independently developed by Ant Group ranked with a total performance of 15.26 million QphH. 30000GB first place, more than 10 times higher than the second place Microsoft SQLServer score.
