OceanBase is a distributed HTAP (hybrid transaction/analytical processing) database designed for mission-critical workloads at scale. The platform supports petabytes of data and transaction volumes in the billions-per-second range, with built-in high availability (Paxos consensus, zero RPO, sub-30-second RTO), real-time analytics on transactional data, and MySQL compatibility to minimize application rework. Operating since 2010 from Singapore, the company serves organizations performing large-scale migrations from legacy relational databases and managing cloud-native deployments across multiple regions. Current operational focus spans database migration delivery, customer proof-of-concepts, technical community enablement, and addressing production incident response and performance tuning.
