"High-performance analytical query engine" track registration

"Massive Data Efficiently Move to the Cloud" Track Registration

Opened the dual-track competition for the first time, focusing on core business scenarios

Since 2018, the "Alibaba Cloud Database Contest" has been successfully held for two consecutive sessions, attracting thousands of teams and individuals at home and abroad to participate, with participants from 11 countries and regions. The active team not only covers all large domestic Internet companies, but also teams from well-known universities and colleges.

This year's competition breaks through the use of a dual-track mechanism, focusing on the core business scenarios of the database such as analytical query engines and massive data migration. It is divided into two major courses, "high-performance analytical query engine" and "massive data efficiently going to the cloud".

Among them, "high-performance analytical query engine" track , the contest question comes from the analytical query scenario of the cloud native data warehouse AnalyticDB, based on the platform using Intel® Optane™ persistent memory (PMem), the players will design and implement the specified The numerical analysis function of, under the guarantee of correctness and robustness, it can quickly complete the specified data import, and a number of times value calculation query.

"Massive data efficiently go to the cloud" track , which builds the massive data migration technology of the data transmission service DTS on the Aliyun Linux operating system and uses Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem). The competition questions are cut from the scene of efficient data migration. Players need to design and implement programs to transfer massive data from local to the cloud, support the migration of stock and incremental data, have a certain degree of robustness, and have good performance.

This competition from now - June 25 can apply , total prize money pool of up to 40 million yuan, after the preliminary round, two semi-finals after a competition, each track a rematch of the teams standings TOP11 players on behalf of the They were invited to participate in the final defense in September.

This year’s competition especially encourages corporate players to participate. Winners who represent their companies and enter the semi-finals will have the opportunity to become Alibaba Cloud database partners, focusing on packaging practical cases of migration to the cloud and disseminating them throughout the developer community to increase the number of companies. exposure.

In addition to the regular awards, contestants with high-skilled talents in Guangluo Database and outstanding performances can also receive the Geek Award and the Alibaba Cloud Database Product Division prioritized internal recommendations to build a new ecosystem of "Database on the Cloud" with industry elites.

Super luxury review lineup technical experts escort and guide the whole process

The third database competition will have senior technical experts to provide the most professional technical answers and guidance to the contestants. The competition also has a luxurious judging lineup, including: Dr. Li Feifei, Vice President of Alibaba Group and Head of Alibaba Cloud Database Product Division, Alibaba Cloud researcher Zhan Chaoqun, Alibaba Cloud researcher Lin Liang, Alibaba Cloud senior technical expert Chen Changcheng, Alibaba Cloud senior technical expert Fu Dachao, Intel Optane Product Division China Technology Innovation Center Engineering Manager Wu Guoan, Intel Data Center Departmental software architect Si Peifeng et al.

The judges are all senior experts in the database field, with rich research and practical experience. Their interpretation and review of the competition questions are also a highlight of attracting players to participate.

Li Feifei, Vice President of Alibaba Group and Head of Alibaba Cloud Database Product Division said: “This competition is the first to launch dual tracks, focusing on analytical query scenarios and the best practices of massive data migration to the cloud, combining the latest Intel Optane persistent memory technology. Contest questions require players to have a full understanding of the combination of cloud-native databases and software and hardware, and design the best data structure.

Alibaba Cloud Database has always been committed to cultivating innovative technical talents and building a "fast track" for the growth of talents. With the promotion of the competition, more and more database enthusiasts will get new opportunities and expand the technological boundaries. We look forward to your good results! "

"Alibaba Cloud and Intel are long-term strategic partners, especially in the cloud-native database field based on Intel technology has achieved innovative breakthroughs", 160c83ae2317c9 Intel Corporation Marketing Group Vice President and China Data Center Sales General Manager Chen Said, “We are very honored to once again cooperate with Alibaba Cloud’s relevant teams to jointly host this database competition, and sincerely look forward to attracting more developers to join this competition to jointly explore the application of new computing and storage technologies on the Alibaba Cloud platform. Challenge the ultimate performance, stimulate and generate more innovations in the database field to efficiently go to the cloud.''

Robust hardware and cloud native support challenge the limits of database performance

The focus of the "high-performance analytical query engine" track-Alibaba Cloud's self-developed cloud-native data warehouse AnalyticDB is a cloud-native enterprise-level data warehouse service that integrates database and big data technologies, supporting real-time addition, deletion and modification of high-throughput data , Low-latency real-time analysis and complex ETL, compatible with upstream and downstream ecological tools, can be used to build enterprise-level reporting systems, data warehouses and data service engines.

Alibaba Cloud’s self-developed data transmission service DTS adopted by the "mass data efficiently to the cloud" track focuses on solving data transmission to the cloud and heterogeneous data transmission such as RDBMS, NoSQL, and OLAP. It integrates data migration, subscription, and synchronization to help users build Secure, scalable, and highly available data architecture. Continuously improve the performance and stability of massive data migration through technological innovation.

It is reported that the combination of Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem) in the two major tracks of this event can ingeniously combine cost-effective large-capacity memory with support for data persistence, accelerating large-memory calculations and speeding up database restarts. Time and reduce I/O, reduce the power consumption of large memory nodes, and protect data in the event of a power failure. This also bridges the gap between traditional SSD and DRAM, meets the needs of various workloads, and helps gain deeper insights from larger data sets.

Alibaba Cloud's elastic computing persistent memory instance product (re6p) deeply integrates persistent memory related technologies, and embeds Intel Optane persistent memory into the cloud server to provide external services. In OLAP applications (such as cloud native data warehouse AnalyticDB), Greatly reduce the user's cost and trial threshold.
