Run mission-critical transactions, real-time analytics, and AI workloads on OceanBase Cloud, a fully managed distributed SQL database (open source) surviving node, AZ, and region failures with zero data loss (RPO=0) and sub-8-second failover. MySQL and Oracle compatible.
Born Battle-Tested, originally built for Alipay handling 100M+ TPS during Singles' Day, OceanBase has processed the world's largest transaction volumes with zero data loss. Now available as a fully managed service on AWS. Product Capabilities Operational Simplicity: Push-button deployment, rolling upgrades, zero-downtime patching, automated backups, and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR). Always-on Availability: Zero data loss (RPO=0) and sub-8-second recovery (RTO<8s). Automatic AZ failover with active-active or primary-standby replication. Intrinsic Security: End-to-end encryption (TDE), granular RBAC, and compliance with global data protection standards. Core Benefits Unified Workload Engine: OLTP + OLAP + AI on one engine. Row, column, or hybrid storage per table. Elastic Scalability: Instant linear scaling for reads and writes--horizontal, vertical, or tenant-level--without downtime. Radical Cost Efficiency: 70-90% storage savings, 30% TCO reduction via advanced compression and native multi-tenancy. Seamless Migration: Drop-in MySQL and Oracle compatibility with reverse sync. Build with mainstream frameworks and tools.
Highlights
- Unified Database for OLTP, OLAP & AI: Run mission-critical transactional, real-time analytics, and AI workloads on a single distributed engine--eliminating ETL pipelines, data movement, and stack sprawl. Define row, column, or hybrid storage at the table level and execute instant, zero-downtime schema changes.
- Unbreakable Availability: Architect for the unexpected, achieve zero data loss (RPO=0) and sub-8-second automatic failover (RTO<8s) with a distributed multi-replica architecture. Survive node, zone, and region failures automatically while maintaining continuous service with active-active or primary-standby deployment.
- Cost Efficiency at Scale: Slash storage costs by 70-90% and reduce overall TCO by 30% through advanced compression and native multi-tenancy. Scale reads and writes elastically-horizontally, vertically, or at tenant level -without downtime or manual sharding.

“Powerful Distributed Database for Large-Scale Enterprise Workloads”
Reviewed on May 25, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
A few standout points:
Distributed architecture with financial-grade reliability
OceanBase was originally designed for large-scale financial systems, so it handles high concurrency, distributed transactions, and failover very well.
MySQL compatibility
For many teams, migrating existing MySQL applications is relatively smooth, which lowers adoption cost compared to completely different distributed databases.
Separation of storage and compute capabilities
It can scale horizontally across multiple nodes without the operational complexity seen in some traditional sharding solutions.
Strong HTAP capability
It supports both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads in one system, reducing the need for separate architectures.
Excellent performance under large datasets
OceanBase performs especially well in scenarios involving massive tables, high TPS, and distributed deployments.
Operational ecosystem
Tools like OCP (OceanBase Cloud Platform), OMS, backup/recovery, and tenant-based resource isolation make enterprise operations more manageable.

What do you dislike about the product?
Steeper learning curve
OceanBase is not just “another MySQL.” Concepts like tenants, zones, resource units, distributed execution plans, and partitioning require deeper understanding for proper operation and tuning.
Operations and troubleshooting can be complex
In distributed deployments, diagnosing issues involving RPC, replication, observer nodes, compaction, or transaction timeouts can be harder than traditional single-instance MySQL troubleshooting.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminating manual database sharding
Instead of splitting data across many MySQL instances and maintaining application-level sharding logic, OceanBase handles data distribution automatically. This greatly reduces development and maintenance complexity.
Improving high availability and disaster recovery
With multi-replica architecture and automatic failover, services can continue running even when a node fails. This improves system stability for critical business applications.
Supporting large-scale concurrent workloads
OceanBase is designed for scenarios with massive transaction volumes and large datasets, so it can scale horizontally as business traffic grows.

Rock-Solid HTAP Database That Delivers Unmatched Scalability and Enterprise-Grade Reliability
Reviewed on May 22, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
OceanBase Database is the most reliable and cost-effective distributed database I have ever used. Its standout advantages include extremely high data reliability, almost zero downtime in production, smooth compatibility with standard MySQL syntax, and an intuitive operation and maintenance system that drastically reduces our team's workload. The active community, comprehensive official documentation, and fast technical support also make it very easy to use and troubleshoot, which has greatly improved our overall data service efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful aspects of OceanBase Database are its complex initial setup for distributed clusters, the limited amount of English-language learning resources, and the lack of more beginner-friendly tutorials for common operations like node scaling. For teams new to distributed databases, the learning curve is steeper than expected, and some advanced maintenance tasks require deeper specialized knowledge that is not always covered in the basic documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OceanBase Database is solving the core pain points of our e-commerce business: unstable database performance during peak shopping events, slow order settlement and inventory deduction processes, and high risk of data loss for critical transaction records. Its high concurrency processing capability handles tens of thousands of order transactions per second without lag, its strong consistency guarantees ensure inventory and financial data are always accurate, and its automatic disaster recovery mechanism protects our business from unexpected outages. This directly benefits our business by eliminating order failures during big sales, improving customer satisfaction, reducing financial reconciliation errors, and giving us the confidence to run larger-scale marketing campaigns without worrying about database limits.

OceanBase: Convenient Large-Scale Storage with HBase KV Compatibility
Reviewed on May 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I prefer OceanBase because it’s more convenient for storing large amounts of data and is compatible with HBase KV interfaces.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that the documentation isn’t updated enough. Some newer features lack clear, up-to-date guides, which makes setup and troubleshooting take longer than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OceanBase solves the high availability and scaling challenges we faced with traditional databases. Its distributed architecture allows us to grow without downtime, and the multi-tenant feature lets us consolidate multiple workloads, simplifying our infrastructure and reducing operational costs.

OceanBase HTAP Delivers Real-Time Insights with Flexible Hybrid Storage
Reviewed on May 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I endorse OceanBase's HTAP capabilities. Its support for row storage, column storage, and hybrid storage offers greater flexibility for designing business reports. Crucially, applications remain agnostic to the underlying storage format, eliminating the need to manage columnar storage complexities. We no longer have to wait for daily batch processing jobs to access business metrics, enabling our management team to obtain critical insights in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have no specific dislikes at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly licensing costs and scalability. We replaced expensive Oracle licenses with OceanBase and can now scale elastically on cloud infrastructure.
