a broad range of DBMS use cases, based on support for a wide range
of data types and diversity of development models (such as
multicloud, intercloud and hybrid). These vendors demonstrate
consistent customer satisfaction and strong customer
support…generally represent the lowest risk for customers in the
areas for performance, scalability, reliability and support."
Proven capability in supporting the world's largest shopping
festival

during peak time at 11.11, a 60% increase from last year.
AnalyticDB, Alibaba Cloud's
self-developed cloud native data warehouse, processed up to 7.7
trillion lines of real-time data, equaling 15 times the data
contained in the UK Web Archive at the British Library. In

AnalyticDB helped China Post to deal
with more than 100 million orders during 11.11, with about 100,000
China Post users checking their
parcels' real-time status online.

deployed or migrated to a cloud platform[1]", and
Alibaba Cloud has seen the trend
growing. The company's DBMS has seen a doubling in demand
year-over-year as more businesses are adopting database
technologies to combat the long-lasting impacts of COVID-19. It

various industries such as retail, fintech, logistics,
manufacturing, gaming and education.

forefront of cloud database product offerings for many years," said
Dr Li Feifei, President of Database Business, Alibaba Cloud
Intelligence. "In the cloud-native era, it is even more pivotal
for businesses to be able to take advantage of innovative Database
as a Service (DBaaS) offerings to enhance and support
high-concurrency and high-volume applications such as e-commerce,
online gaming and financial technology. Many Fortune 500 firms are
already using our Cloud DBaaS for mobile apps, backups and tests,
and the most recent impressive performance of our proprietary
