Alibaba cloud Li Feifei: China's cloud database has taken the lead in many mainstream technological innovations abroad

China's cloud database has taken the lead in many mainstream technological innovations abroad .

today , By the Chinese computer society （CCF） The host , In the advanced seminar on digital economy organized by Alibaba cloud , Li Feifei, head of alicloud database, said , Cloud computing has opened up a new technological path for the development of database architecture , And new commercialization scenarios , Let's PolarDB China Cloud database, represented by, has been ranked among the first camp in the world .

Databases and chips 、 The operating system is listed as one of the three major pieces of global information technology , It's also an enterprise IT The core technology of the system is essential , Internet 、 Finance 、 government affairs 、 telecom 、 Manufacturing and other major industries rely on database technology and products .

In the past 40 many years , Database technology has been iterating , However, China's database has been in “ Follow ” state . however , With the rapid development of cloud computing technology , Chinese enterprises are becoming an important innovation force in the cloud database market .

“ From the data of papers admitted to the top-level conference of the global database , China's database technology innovation capability has reached the world advanced level .”

Dean of Ming Li academy, Renmin University of China 、 Director of China computer society 、 Duxiaoyong, a senior member of the Database Committee, believes that , China has rich and unique database application scenarios , With the implementation of the national strategy of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and Technology , And the encouragement of innovation , The development of database technology in China has entered a golden opportunity period .

Alibaba took the lead in opening up the track of China's cloud database market ：

Self developed cloud database ：2013 year , Alibaba will be the last Oracle The database goes offline from Taobao core system , Start using open source databases to solve “ double 11” And other extreme traffic scenarios , Then we developed cloud database by ourselves , Introduction PolarDB、AnalyticDB、Lindorm Products such as .

Unique technical advantages ： Combination with Feitian operating system , It is also the unique technical advantage of Alibaba cloud database ,PolarDB And other cloud database products can be used in high-performance computing 、 Storage 、 Network, security and other next-generation cloud computing architectures , So as to achieve industry leadership .

Deep tillage self research technology ： It is specialized in database cutting-edge technology , Alibaba cloud has set up 「 Dharma Institute database and storage Laboratory 」.

Over the past few years , Alibaba cloud database team has 50 Many papers have been collected by international top conferences and journals , It has obtained nearly a thousand domestic and foreign patents .

“ Cloud database is a new track that can be developed for a long time , It also provides opportunities for Chinese database enterprises to change lanes and overtake .”

Deputy director of the computer department of Tsinghua University 、 Liguoliang, deputy director of the Database Committee of the Chinese computer society, said , Compared with traditional database , Cloud native database can make full use of the potential of cloud computing . From traditional database to cloud native database , The biggest technological change is resource pooling and resource decoupling , And the resulting flexibility 、 High availability 、 Containerized deployment 、 Intelligent operation and maintenance and other core capabilities .

Weiliang, vice president of China information and Communication Research Institute, pointed out that , China's database industry is about to experience from “ Quantity type ” towards “ Quality type ” The transformation of development . From the perspective of Technology , The database will continue to work with cloud computing 、 Blockchain 、 Artificial intelligence 、 Privacy computing 、 Integration and progress in new hardware and other fields , Towards more efficient 、 Safer and smarter target development .

Li Feifei said ,“ China's cloud database has taken the lead in many mainstream technological innovations abroad .”

PolarDB It's a typical example , from 2017 Self research was started in , Use storage computing to separate 、 Integrated design of hardware and software , The cost is only one tenth of that of traditional commercial databases .

after 5 Annual efforts , The calculations implemented 、 Memory and storage resources “ Three levels of decoupling ” framework 、 Multi master multi write 、 Based on memory pooling HTAP、Serverless And other functions have been the world's first or industry-leading technology ：

Storage computing separation ： Plan storage independently 、 Computing resource specifications and capacity , Greatly reduce costs and increase efficiency ;

Three levels of decoupling ： Realize memory pooling for the first time , Make the elasticity increase by an order of magnitude , Greatly reduce costs and increase efficiency ;

Multi master multi write architecture ： Multiple write nodes , Further improve usability 、 Concurrent processing 、 Resilience ;

HTAP： Can handle at the same time OLTP and OLAP Type hybrid load ;

Serverless： Let the database instance resources dynamically bounce down with the customer's business load , A lower cost .

Now , Alibaba cloud's global service exceeds 400 Million enterprise customers , Self research technology is the greatest strength .

Through self research , Alibaba cloud has achieved independent innovation and industrial breakthrough in databases , At the same time, it can keep up with the needs of the industry , Quickly translate customer pain points into product capabilities .2020 year ,PolarDB Won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of China Electronics Society .

PolarDB It has been widely used in government and enterprise markets , Serve the natural person tax management system 、 The national 60% Provincial medical insurance information platform 、 China Post 、 China Taibao 、 AIA 、 Shenwan Hongyuan securities and other financial 、 Benchmark customers in the field of government affairs .

Li Feifei said ,PolarDB In the future, we will continue to make innovations and breakthroughs based on the new generation cloud computing architecture , Continue to release the resource pooling potential of cloud computing , Let customers enjoy the dividends of more cloud native technologies .
