Why a new AI-native database trended on GitHub
seekdb, a MySQL-compatible state store for AI agents, delivers hybrid search in one SQL, 1,523 QPS streaming with 1.1× P99 jitter, and kernel-level Fork/Diff/Merge sandboxes for safe agent exploration.
Why Streaming Workloads Break Most Vector Databases: A Benchmark of 5 Popular Engines
Streaming benchmark shows traditional bulk-load tests miss agent needs. seekdb's fixed dual-index keeps P99 jitter at 1.1×.
From Neurons to Code: The Forgetting Design Behind PowerMem
Nature designed memory and forgetting together. We want to translate that design into code that can be configured and tuned.
Locality in OceanBase: How Replica Placement Becomes an Availability Contract
Learns how locality in OceanBase turns a DR topology into something the cluster enforces - replica counts, replica types (F/R/C), and zone placement.
Designing Disaster Recovery with OceanBase: A Failure-Domain Playbook
How to choose the right OceanBase disaster recovery architecture by failure domain - Server, Zone/IDC, Region, or full cluster - with a decision matrix.
Why Your Vector Database Benchmark Is Wrong for AI Agents
Under streaming AI workloads, vector databases see high P99 jitter (1.1×–10.3×) under concurrency. seekdb v1.3.0’s fixed delta+snapshot HNSW avoids this, delivering 22× QPS and 19× P99 gains over prior version.
What Mission-Critical SaaS Really Demands From a Database
Multi-tenancy, elastic scaling, always-on uptime — SaaS workloads have a very specific database profile. Here's how six SaaS requirements translate into concrete database capabilities, and where most platforms fall short.
Why Critical Workloads Need a New Architecture
Centralized databases, manual sharding, and middleware-based scaling are reaching their limits. Here's why mission-critical workloads now demand native distributed SQL — and what that architecture actually looks like.
Inside OceanBase's High Availability Architecture: A Kernel-Level Walkthrough
A kernel-level look at OceanBase's three HA mechanisms — multi-replica Paxos, arbitration-based recovery, and tenant-level physical standby — and where each fits.
5 Minutes to a Working AI Prototype: A Developer's Guide to seekdb D0
A hands-on guide to seekdb D0, the free trial entry point for OceanBase's AI-native hybrid search database. Spin up a MySQL-compatible instance with vector, full-text, and data branching in one curl command — no signup, no credit card.
OceanBase Blog
Product insights, engineering deep dives, and real-world use cases from the OceanBase team.
OceanBase has spent years working alongside leading fintech companies like AliPay, GCash, and DANA. Here's what we've learned about what fintech data infrastructure really needs, and how AI is raising the bar, and how OceanBase addresses the needs with an unified architecture.
