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

“ China's cloud database has taken the lead in many mainstream technological innovations abroad .”6 month 29 Japan , 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 .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 he took up the banner of self-developed cloud database , Introduction PolarDB、AnalyticDB、Lindorm Products such as .

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 .

Besides , Alibaba cloud also attaches great importance to research on cutting-edge database technologies , And set up a special research institution —— 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 .

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 .2020 year ,PolarDB Won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of China Electronics Society .

Global service exceeds 400 Million enterprise customers , Behind Alibaba cloud's brilliant achievements , 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 .

According to introducing ,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 .

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

Disclosure of information , Alibaba cloud has the richest cloud database product family in China , The market share of cloud database ranks first in China . According to international authorities Gartner Annual global cloud database Magic Quadrant assessment report , As the only technology company in China, Alibaba cloud , On 2020 Years and 2021 Two years in a row into the leadership （LEADERS） quadrant . This marks the Chinese database 40 For the first time in recent years, it has entered the ranks of the world's top databases .
