Not long ago, the industry must have noticed the news that MetaERP was born. As the core system of enterprise management, MetaERP breaks through the external blockade and realizes complete self-developed replacement. It is a project involving a wide range of areas and high complexity in Huawei's history. This is actually a microcosm of the rapid rise of domestic basic software.
The basic software industry is a basic, strategic, and leading industry related to the overall national economic and social development, and is of great significance for supporting economic and social development and improving national security capabilities. On February 21, 2023, high-level national officials emphasized that "we must fight the tough battle for the localization of scientific and technological equipment, operating systems, and basic software." This undoubtedly sounded the clarion call for accelerated independent innovation of basic software.
As one of the "troika" of basic software, the database is the underlying pillar of the DICT industry. "China Mobile Online's first batch of openGauss pilot applications have been running stably for more than 200 days, which fully demonstrates the excellent reliability of openGauss products." ——At the "Kunpeng Developer Summit 2023" held by Huawei, we heard about the database good news.
Bao Jianfeng comes out of sharpening. As the main window of China Mobile's customer service and the main channel of business sales, China Mobile Online takes data management as its business breakthrough. In order to aim at the goal of business development, China Mobile Online chose openGauss as the "new arrow". What is the reason?
openGauss takes the lead in independent innovation
China Mobile Online serves 1 billion users, which requires business management upgrades, and efficient and secure data management is a necessary part of business upgrades. As the central business becomes more and more complex in the development process, data quality and security face higher challenges. This also puts forward higher requirements for the evolution of China Mobile Online's database services, prompting China Mobile Online to firmly explore the road of independent innovation and transformation.
In the past application process of China Mobile’s online production system database, many pain points have been found: the high-availability architecture including MySQL+ third-party components has a split-brain problem caused by network partitions, and the data inconsistency risk caused by MySQL’s lack of real-time strong synchronization mechanism, MySQL The community edition does not support the security audit function, etc.
On the whole, the MySQL architecture is relatively simple, and its functions are relatively single. It is suitable for handling scenarios such as enumeration, but cannot support complex needs; this urgently requires China Mobile Online's innovative database services to focus on the three key dimensions of core innovation, ecological compatibility and sustainable development. to explore.
The core is independently innovated, the ecology is flourishing, the version iteration is stable, and the technology update is active. Through various comparisons, the engineers of China Mobile Online set their sights on openGauss.
Selecting openGauss, the original advantage "forging new arrows"
The reason why openGauss was finally selected can be summed up in one sentence, that is, openGauss can completely fill China Mobile Online's current demand for database innovation and upgrading in a "point-to-point" manner.
In terms of kernel innovation, openGauss has four characteristics: high availability, high performance, high intelligence and high security. It supports strong synchronization of master and backup to ensure data consistency; the database and AI are fully connected in both directions, and the operation and maintenance efficiency is increased by 10 times. In particular, high performance and high security are the top priorities of data management and calling. In common TPCC transaction scenarios, the measured performance of openGauss with the same specifications is doubled compared with MySQL; natively supports full-stack national secrets and security audit capabilities, and kernel security guarantees.
In terms of ecological compatibility, openGauss is also well prepared to achieve "seamless migration". Considering the huge market stock of MySQL, openGauss has achieved 68% full syntax compatibility and 100% common syntax compatibility. By applying the compatibility check tool, the cost of development and testing can be greatly reduced, the time-consuming for the transformation of a single business module is reduced to 4 man-days, and the overall cost of adaptation and transformation is reduced by half.
In terms of data migration capabilities, openGauss covers full migration, incremental migration, migration escape, and data verification capabilities, ensuring low-cost application adaptation, high-speed data migration, and smoother business switching. 1TB/hour migration speed, real-time online migration, merge trial run, second-level fault detection, complete "data toolbox" to ensure "seamless migration" of data and business.
After switching to openGauss, China Mobile Online has achieved more than expected benefits in terms of business operation. A series of business optimization results have greatly enhanced the confidence of China Mobile Online in cooperating with the openGauss community, and also allowed openGauss to have an additional partner for joint innovation and parallel progress.
Applicable to multiple scenarios, concentrate on working together to "harden new arrows"
The database is the underlying technology foundation for business development, which runs for a long time and needs to be fully compatible with market demand.
数据库生态建设周期长，轻易不变动，比如MySQL的历史最早可以追溯到1979年。但随着业务复杂度提高，技术版本稳定更新，创新的后程优势将更加重要。从2020年6月正式开源，到2023年3月30日5.0版本正式上线，openGauss大版本稳定迭代，保证技术持续演进，充分适配当下业务应用新演进。
“数据库产业是一个基业常青的产业，当前要想发展一个新的生态，光靠一家厂商是不够的，产业一定要协同共建。”openGauss社区秘书长胡正策在大会上分享自己的产业观察。
慎独不孤，众行能远。不断加入的社区伙伴像点点星光，让openGauss发展前景更加明亮，让前行者信心倍增。
其中，在与中移在线的合作中，openGauss实现赋能3大业务场景生产落地：在全链路海量数据存储场景，存储成本节省30%；在智能质检的数据分析场景，复杂SQL查询性能提升1倍；在新电商在线交易场景，数据库接口的响应时间节省50%。
多一点成本节约，就会给企业多一些发展信心；多一个场景落地，就会给openGauss社区增加一个成功案例。企业伙伴与社区生态共成长，携手前进，共同淬炼好openGauss这支数字化时代“新箭头”。
未来，中移在线将与openGauss开展更广、更深的应用合作。开展数据库服务云化以及“异地多活”机制的研究，同时结合自有的故障自愈能力，进一步提高中移在线数据库的高可靠性。
如今，多个伙伴与客户基于openGauss5.0社区版发行商业、自用版本，充分说明了openGauss5.0在商业上得到了伙伴和用户的认可，同时这也给社区进一步繁荣发展提供了可能性。商业应用更能说明版本优势，这将帮助社区版本迭代进一步提升与优化。
好风凭借力，扬帆正当时。依托openGauss的综合优势，产业伙伴将获得适配业务演进、技术迭代的全场景数据库。openGauss也将凝聚产业合力与众多开发智慧，实现数据库超级生态节点嬗变，成为企业数字化发展的“新箭头”。
