About the OpenGauss Summit
The OpenGauss Summit is an annual industry exchange and sharing event co-hosted by the openGauss community, industry organizations, partners, and customers. As an open-source database designed for enterprise core application scenarios, openGauss has been collaborating with industry partners to drive innovation and progress since its official open-source release on June 30, 2020. It has achieved remarkable results in technology, business, ecosystem, community, and talent development. The OpenGauss Summit 2023 marks the third annual gathering and the third year of GBASE's partnership with the openGauss community.
At the summit, GBASE received multiple awards, including the 2023 Outstanding Community Contributor Unit and Outstanding Contributor awards. A project cooperated with the Tianjin Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Commission was also recognized as one of the "2023 openGauss Benchmark Application Practices" and was jointly commended by the community and the China Industrial Cyber Security Development Research Center. Zhang Yi, General Manager of the GBase 8c product line, delivered an insightful speech titled "Vector-Enhanced, Multi-Expertise: GBase 8c Empowering Government and Enterprise Digital Transformation in the Large Model Era", sparking thoughts on how databases can flexibly address both traditional and large-model domains.
On the afternoon of December 28, the GBASE Sub-forum invited numerous technical experts and partners to deliver presentations built on the openGauss open-source database. Centered around the theme "Multi-Model, Multi-Form, Vector-Enhanced", the sessions covered topics such as talent cultivation, database technology advancements, cooperative case analysis, and application requirements, and unveiled the vector engine features of GBase 8c for the first time.
OpenGauss Summit 2023
Main Forum Highlights
In recent years, the accelerating digital transformation in China and the trend of replacing foreign technology with domestic alternatives have propelled databases, as a critical foundation of digital infrastructure and a key link in IT Application Innovation, into a golden period of rapid industry development. According to authoritative reports, the market share of foreign vendors is gradually being released, leaving significant potential upside for domestic vendors. The number of domestic database users continues to grow, and data assets are being accumulated, with many organizations in sectors such as Internet, manufacturing, government, and telecommunications already managing petabyte-scale datasets. At the OpenGauss Summit 2023, Frost & Sullivan officially released the "Key Industry Database Application Survey Report", which pointed out that in 2023, the openGauss-based newly added market share for offline centralized deployment in China's database market reached 21.9%, and openGauss has been deployed at scale in core scenarios across ten key industries, including finance, government, telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, highway and waterway transportation, postal services, and education. This signifies that openGauss has crossed the ecosystem tipping point and officially entered the ecosystem development stage. The openGauss community adheres to the principles of "co-construction, sharing, and co-governance" to jointly promote high-speed community development and ecosystem prosperity.
