DTC 2023 | GBase: A Complete Product Portfolio to Unlock Full Data Value
April 7-8, 2023, the 12th Data Technology Carnival (DTC 2023) kicked off grandly in Beijing. GBase was invited to participate, showcasing its core products at the exhibition area and delivering a keynote on trending database topics.
Centered around the theme "Open Source · Integration · Digitalization — Driving Data Technology Forward, Unleashing Data Value," the event gathered database industry leaders. It featured a main forum and 12 thematic sessions, bringing together over 60 insightful presentations on ecosystem development, technology trends, and industry practices—a dazzling feast of database technology.
Intelligence & Integration: Cloud-Native Real-Time Logical Data Warehouse Helps You Build a Lakehouse in the Cloud
Zhang Shaoyong, Chief Engineer of GBase 8a, delivered a keynote titled "GBase GCDW Cloud-Native Real-Time Logical Data Warehouse: Supporting Lakehouse Architecture" at the Lakehouse Technology Innovation Forum.
Zhang Shaoyong noted that GBase GCDW cloud-native real-time logical data warehouse boasts cloud-native, distributed, intelligent, integrated, real-time, and secure capabilities. GBase GCDW is positioned not merely as a distributed OLAP RDBMS, but as a critical component of a comprehensive big data platform. It integrates with other platforms, enables multi-tenant data openness, and supports cross-data center operations. Leveraging the complexity and convergence of big data applications, it incorporates intelligent computing—including machine learning—and convergence computing between relational and non-relational models. It also delivers real-time data ingestion and processing, forming a real-time data warehouse. Additionally, it supports secure data transmission and unified data lake storage. By adopting a compute-storage separation architecture, it enables DaaS service deployment and openness between private and public clouds in the analytics domain, effectively building a lakehouse in the cloud.

A Multi-Writer Multi-Reader Database Cluster Based on Data Replication Technology Breaks Through Centralized Availability Limitations
Guo Zhuo, Senior Database Expert and Product Manager of GBase 8s, shared the keynote "A Multi-Writer Multi-Reader Database Cluster Solution Based on Data Replication Technology" at the China Database Innovation Forum.
The limited write capability, poor horizontal scalability, and restricted overall capacity of centralized database clusters have long been persistent pain points in the industry. Addressing these challenges, Guo Zhuo detailed the latest multi-active, multi-writer database cluster technology from the GBase 8s product line. In this cluster solution, all database nodes support both read and write operations, enabling linear performance scaling.
Log-based capture is an internal database mechanism that incurs virtually no additional overhead. It leverages the scalable, parallel-processing architecture of the OnLine system to concurrently handle multiple data replication streams, thereby enhancing system processing performance.
In the event of a failure, GBase 8s' multi-active multi-writer design, combined with its high-availability technologies (HAC, RHAC, SSC), forms a high-availability cluster solution. This enhances the disaster recovery capability of sharded clusters, making them more secure and reliable. Failover can be completed in approximately 3 seconds, with near-zero impact on client applications, greatly improving overall system availability.
Furthermore, business logic-based table sharding technology can fully utilize hardware server resources to boost overall database system performance.
During the conference, GBase showcased multiple core products, including the distributed logical data warehouse GBase 8a, the shared-storage database cluster GBase 8s, the multi-model distributed database GBase 8c, and the cloud-native data warehouse GBase GCDW. The booth attracted many attendees who stopped to inquire and discuss the features of GBase databases and their deployment in key industries. The company's product portfolio covering the full data management lifecycle and its full-stack service capabilities were widely recognized by the participants.
