OceanBase Hours: Where the Database Goes Next in the AI Era
- Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2026
- Time: 2:00–3:30 PM SGT (UTC+8)
OceanBase Hours is a recurring live event bringing together OceanBase builders, industry analysts, and practitioners running production systems to explore where database architecture is heading next.
As AI moves into production, transactional, analytical, and AI workloads increasingly need to work on the same live data. Adding more engines, pipelines, and copies can introduce latency, operational complexity, and fragmented context.
OceanBase Hours explores a different direction: how a distributed database foundation can evolve to support mission-critical workloads and AI in one integrated architecture — from distributed OLTP and FinTech modernization to hybrid search, multimodal data, and AI on live operational data.
What You'll Take Away
- How to modernize mission-critical systems without constant re-architecture as workloads, traffic, and business requirements grow.
- Why FinTech and financial services need distributed database architecture for scale, availability, and consistency.
- How a distributed database evolves into an AI database, bringing transactional, analytical, and AI workloads closer to the same live data.
- What this looks like in production, from mission-critical modernization to hybrid search, multimodal data, and AI on operational data.
