OceanBase Database is available in two editions: OceanBase Database Enterprise Edition and OceanBase Database Community Edition.
OceanBase Database Enterprise Edition is an enterprise-level, native distributed database independently developed by the OceanBase team. It provides financial-grade high availability on commodity hardware. Its groundbreaking deployment mode of "five IDCs across three regions" sets a new standard for automatic, lossless disaster recovery at the region level. OceanBase Database has also set new records in the TPC-C benchmark test, supporting more than 1,500 nodes in one cluster. It is cloud-native, highly consistent, and highly compatible with Oracle and MySQL.
OceanBase Database Community Edition is a standalone distributed and integrated database compatible with MySQL. It is built on the native distributed architecture and supports enterprise-level features such as financial-grade high availability, transparent horizontal scaling, distributed transactions, multitenancy, and syntax compatibility. OceanBase Database Community Edition has an open-source kernel and provides open APIs and various eco-capabilities to meet the business requirements of enterprises or individuals.
OceanBase Database Community Edition V4.6.0 has not been released yet. Therefore, this topic describes the deployment methods and scenarios of OceanBase Database Enterprise Edition.
Deployment methods

- Use OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP) to deploy an OceanBase cluster
- Use OceanBase Deployer (obd) to deploy an OceanBase cluster
- Use the CLI to deploy an OceanBase cluster
Deployment scenarios
OceanBase Database Enterprise Edition
For a production environment, we recommend that you deploy an OceanBase cluster by using OCP. For more information, see Deploy a three-replica OceanBase cluster by using OCP.
For a non-production environment, you can use the CLI to deploy an OceanBase cluster. For more information, see Deploy a three-replica OceanBase cluster by using the CLI.
