**OceanBase Database** is a distributed relational database. It is developed entirely by Ant Group. The OceanBase Database is built on a common server cluster. Based on the [Paxos](https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/lamport-paxos.pdf) protocol and its distributed structure, the OceanBase Database provides high availability and linear scalability. The OceanBase Database is not dependent on specific hardware architectures.

# Key features

- **Transparent Scalability**: 1,500 nodes, PB data and a trillion rows of records in one cluster.
- **Ultra-fast Performance**: TPC-C 707 million tmpC and TPC-H 15.26 million QphH @30000GB.
- **Cost Efficiency**: saves 70%–90% of storage costs.
- **Real-time Analytics**: supports HTAP without additional cost. 
- **Continuous Availability**: RPO = 0(zero data loss) and RTO < 8s(recovery time)
- **MySQL Compatible**: easily migrated from MySQL database.

# Quick start

See also [Quick experience](https://en.oceanbase.com/docs/community-observer-en-10000000000829647) or [Quick Start (Simplified Chinese)](https://open.oceanbase.com/quickStart) for more details.

## 🔥 Start with all-in-one

You can quickly deploy a stand-alone OceanBase Database to experience with the following commands:

**Note**: Linux Only

```shell
# download and install all-in-one package (internet connection is required)
bash -c "$(curl -s https://obbusiness-private.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/download-center/opensource/oceanbase-all-in-one/installer.sh)"
source ~/.oceanbase-all-in-one/bin/env.sh

# quickly deploy OceanBase database
obd demo
```

## 🐳 Start with docker

**Note**: We provide images on [dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/oceanbase/oceanbase-ce/tags), [quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/oceanbase/oceanbase-ce?tab=tags) and [ghcr.io](https://github.com/oceanbase/docker-images/pkgs/container/oceanbase-ce). If you have problems pulling images from dockerhub, please try the other two registries.

1. Start an OceanBase Database instance:

    ```shell
    # Deploy a mini standalone instance.
    docker run -p 2881:2881 --name oceanbase-ce -e MODE=mini -d oceanbase/oceanbase-ce
```
