Data as Foundation, Peaks and Seas Achieved | GBase at openGauss Developer Day 2023 Highlights

On May 26, the annual technical conference for database developers, openGauss Developer Day 2023, was successfully held in Beijing. Under the theme “Converging Data, Scaling Peaks, Winning the Future Together,” the event brought together technical experts and industry leaders from academia, research, and business to share the latest innovations, best practices, and ecosystem achievements of the openGauss community. GBase played a key role in this year’s conference by hosting a dedicated forum titled “Multi‑Model, Multi‑State Distributed Databases Powering Digital Transformation,” which attracted broad participation from database developers. It explored distributed technologies, taking data as the foundation to build peaks and shape oceans, and jointly crafting the future.

Below, let’s review the highlights from GBase at this conference.

Main Forum Highlights
Database Appliance Launch + First Batch of Authorized Service Partners

At the conference, GBase made a significant announcement with the launch of its database appliance, InfiniData. This appliance deeply integrates the distributed database GBase 8c, delivering five enterprise-grade strengths: multi‑model and multi‑state architecture, extreme performance, high availability, elastic scalability, and strong security with high compatibility. Co‑engineered with hardware partners, it leverages the synergy of software and hardware to provide a database appliance solution that is “full‑stack trusted,” “full‑stack secure,” “out‑of‑the‑box,” and “extremely simple to operate.”

Meanwhile, GBase and seven other partners became the first batch of authorized service partners in the openGauss community, jointly building a service guarantee for the ecosystem and delivering high‑quality, reliable, and stable professional services to users.

Joint Presentation by GBase & Shidai Yixin

In the keynote session of the main forum, Chen Wenting, Chief Engineer of GBase 8c at General Data Technology, joined Liu Jia, Solution Director of the Solution Product Center at Shidai Yixin, to present “Trade Secret Protection Solution.” Based on the security features of the distributed database GBase 8c and enriched by Shidai Yixin’s deep understanding and extensive practice in information security, the two companies collaborated to create an integrated, visible, manageable, and controllable trade secret protection solution that safeguards enterprise data security.

GBase Dedicated Forum Highlights

On the afternoon of May 26, GBase’s dedicated forum “Multi‑Model, Multi‑State Distributed Databases Powering Digital Transformation” took place as scheduled. Database developers and distributed‑technology enthusiasts gathered to explore the core capabilities of GBase 8c — high performance, elasticity, availability, intelligence, and security — all built upon the openGauss open‑source kernel. Ideas were sparked, insights were shared, and deep discussions were held on key technologies, typical use cases, and operational practices of distributed databases.

Guest Sharing at the Sub‑Forum

The session opened with a speech by Li Yongle, General Manager of Huawei’s Open Source Computing Business, who welcomed the attendees and shared valuable thoughts on building the open‑source computing ecosystem. Zhang Yi, General Manager of the GBase 8c Product at General Data Technology, then delivered a keynote titled “Focus Builds Trust,” emphasizing that GBase has always been committed to mastering core database technologies and tracing the development history of the company and the GBase 8c product. Xiong Xiaojun, openGauss Technical Architect, unveiled the new technical features of openGauss 5.0. Chen Wenting, Chief Engineer of GBase 8c, explained the implementation principles of GBase 8c’s distributed in‑memory engine and explored optimization ideas for GBase 8c GTM global transaction management. Pei Yuta, GBase 8c Technical Architect, provided an in‑depth analysis of distributed execution plans in GBase 8c. Finally, GBase 8c Technical Architect Li Long analyzed how GBase 8c achieves global consistency.

oGSP Operations & Services Sub‑Forum Highlights
GBase 8c Delivers a Different Operational Experience

At the oGSP operations and services sub‑forum, Wang Wei, Head of the GBase 8c Product Department at General Data Technology, delivered a talk titled “GBase 8c Delivers a Different Operational Experience.” She detailed the GBase 8c product built on the openGauss kernel and its “four‑professional” service system, bringing users an efficient and convenient operational experience.

Looking ahead, GBase will continue to focus on breakthroughs and innovation in core database technologies, contributing to the prosperity of the openGauss open‑source community. With data as the foundation, we will scale peaks and shape oceans, jointly building a bright future for the database industry in China.
