History edit

OceanBase was originally developed to serve Alipay transactions.[14] In 2017, the database was commercially available.[3][15]

In 2019, it fully replaced the Oracle database in the Alipay system.[16][17][18]On November 11 of the same year, the database processed 61 million transactions per second.[16]

In October 2019, OceanBase ranked first in the TPC-C benchmark test, twice as fast as second-place Oracle.[19]

In March 2020, the database was formally opened to the world via AliCloud.[20][21] In May 2020, its performance exceeded 700 million tpmC in the TPC-C test.[22][23] In June of the same year, OceanBase began operations as an independent company.[24]

In June 2021, it became open-source.[25]

In July 2022, it appeared in a Forrester analysis report on translytical data platforms.[26][27]

In August 2022, version 4.0 of the database was released.[3][28][29] In November 2022, the 4th version of OceanBase Community Edition became available.[12]
