According to the latest results released on the evening of May 20 on the TPC-C official website, the authoritative list in the database field, Alipay’s self-developed distributed relational database OceanBase’s performance score exceeded the 100 million mark for the first time in the latest TPC-C benchmark test, reaching 707 million tpmC means that the number of new orders created every minute is 707 million, which is a significant increase of nearly 11 times compared with 60.88 million tpmC in October last year.

Alipay said that its self-developed distributed database OceanBase has once again set a new world record. It has been seven months since OceanBase last broke the world record, and it took OceanBase nine years to break this world record.

It is understood that public data shows that the peak number of orders created on Tmall’s Double 11 in 2019 was 544,000 orders per second, and Double 11 is currently the largest high-concurrency comparable scenario in reality.

According to reports, traditional databases can only improve overall performance by improving single-machine performance, which is difficult to meet the data processing needs of the market's continued expansion. The breakthrough of OceanBase is that it adopts a new generation of distributed design technology, which subverts the traditional database centralized processing technology.

Currently, the number of OceanBase cluster nodes has exceeded 1,500. OceanBase founder Yang Zhenkun said: "OceanBase is currently the only database in the world with over a thousand nodes and has passed the TPC-C test, breaking through the performance bottleneck of traditional databases. In the future, distributed databases will become the standard for large-scale business processing. "

In addition, OceanBase has been launched in many commercial banks and insurance institutions such as China Construction Bank, Bank of Nanjing, Bank of Xi'an, PICC Health Insurance, Changshu Rural Commercial Bank, Suzhou Bank, Guangdong Rural Credit Union, and MYBank. The core systems of two of the top four payment platforms in the world use the OceanBase database. At the same time, in March this year, OceanBase was officially opened to the world through Alibaba Cloud. Enterprises can obtain the world's top database processing capabilities "same as Alipay" on the cloud.
