·PART-ONE· Industry Trend
With the changes in supply and demand, database competition has finally entered a relatively convergent stage in 2023 after three years of development like "a hundred flowers blooming".
In 2023, various database vendors have reached a tacit agreement on two aspects:
- HTAP has become the necessary route for the new generation of database databases
- To achieve true HTAP, you need cloud native architecture + Serverless
And 2023 will be the three years that MatrixOne will walk on the road of HTAP, cloud native, and serverless. MatrixOne is natively based on K8s+Serverless+Object Storage, decoupling the three layers of storage, computing, and things. It achieves extreme expansion through a fully containerized design, mixes data operations in a more fine-grained manner, and optimizes all dimensions through resource isolation optimization. Resource requirements. Consistently, MatrixOne has proven its prophecies with practical actions.
As expected, MO was selected into IDC's "China Big Data Management Solution Technology Assessment, 2023" as a typical representative manufacturer in 2023.
During the evaluation, IDC believed that MatrixOne has the following advantages:
- Decouple the three layers of storage, computing, and transactions to balance and optimize different workloads with an extremely flexible technical architecture;
- The unified engine supports mixed workloads such as OLTP/OLAP, is compatible with a variety of storage media, and reduces costs through hot and cold separation multi-level storage solutions;
- Positioning high-performance execution engines;
- Emphasis on distributed high availability - it can avoid repeated data replication while ensuring cluster high availability;
- Provides enterprise-level security compliance capabilities and is highly compatible with MySQL.
- Currently, solutions are provided for the industrial field, especially for time series data scenarios. There are also rich implementation cases in the Internet industry.
·PART-TWO· Products
On February 18, 2021, MO engineers wrote the first line of code. From then on, the gears of MatrixOne, a 100% self-developed database, began to turn. In 2023, MatrixOne finally ushered in version 1.0.0. Since then, MatrixOne has basically realized the main functions of a hyper-converged heterogeneous cloud-native database. On the last working day of 2023, MatrixOne 1.1.0 was released, and MO already has vector, stream and timing capabilities.
As MatrixOne gradually matures, the MatrixOne Beta Program user experience plan and seminars were successfully launched. Thank you to the 30+ users who are willing to learn about MatrixOne. Your valuable opinions are leading MatrixOne to become better and better.
Currently, MatrixOne Enterprise Edition and Serverless-based MatrixOne cloud services have been applied in many industries such as the Internet, finance, energy, manufacturing, education, and medical care. MatrixOne helps users reduce hardware and operation and maintenance costs by 70%, increase development efficiency by 3-5 times, and empowers users to respond to changes in market demand more flexibly and seize innovation opportunities more efficiently.

·PART-FIVE· Developer
In 2023, MO Meetup is officially launched! With the mentality of giving it a try, we held one in Shanghai and one in Shenzhen. Surprisingly, each session attracted dozens of developers to our Meetup, and some friends even came here specially to play. The value of the two Meetups is undoubtedly huge. The most rare thing is to find fellow travelers who are willing to spend their private time. Thanks to those who follow MO, our next Meetup will be arranged in Beijing in January. Welcome to come and chat.
In addition, MO participated in the 2023 Open Source Summer, providing two interesting and challenging projects for student developers:
- Python embedding of database machine learning and AI
- Inject fault tools and modules into the MatrixOne chaos automated test project
Together with the MO instructor, the two students successfully completed requirements analysis, code implementation and project delivery according to the project plan. Finally, they completed high-quality code implementation and successfully graduated.
In technical exchanges, MO participated in a total of 13 mainstream database and technology exchange conferences. These meetings are a good occasion for MO and developers to establish technical exchanges and share experiences, so we particularly cherish every opportunity to share with the outside world.
During this year, we shared the application practice of MO in smart cities, how MO copes with large-scale data challenges, the interpretation of MO application in the field of SaaS enterprise services, the detailed evolution process of MatrixOne from NewSQL to HTAP distributed architecture, etc. It received unanimous praise from the audience present.
