With the acceleration of digital transformation, the demand for efficient, reliable, and secure database solutions from enterprises and government agencies is continuously rising. The need for domestic solutions, combined with technological breakthroughs, has led to a wave of entrepreneurship in the domestic database field.
By the end of 2023, there are nearly 300 database products in the Chinese market, with about 100 database vendors. Well-known investment institutions such as Sequoia, Hillhouse, and Tencent have all entered the field, each investing in at least three databases, showing the favor of capital.
Some databases, relying on their own strength, have secured billions in financing, won multiple projects, and successfully listed; however, some databases are still facing market skepticism. Among the 16 listed companies related to domestic databases, very few are profitable, raising doubts about how long this “losing money to gain attention” model can last.
So, can our domestic market really accommodate so many database vendors? What problems are current database developments facing? What kind of database players can ultimately stand out? As ordinary small and medium-sized projects, how should we choose the right database?
In this issue of [Open Source Talk], we have invited Li Linghui, founder of the cloud-native database ClapDB, Qiao Jialin, co-founder & CTO of Tianmou Technology, and Ma Gong, an Infra engineer, to discuss the current issues in the database market.
