- service availability.
- High performance: Utilising the cutting-edge Ustore storage engine for consistent high performance under heavy loads and 6
- times the stability during high concurrency scenarios.
- High security: The first database in China to earn CC EAL4+ certification (with highly secure source code) with top-notch end-
- to-end encryption measures.
- High intelligence: Pioneering the world’s first AI-native database, offering intelligence from development to O&M processes.
- High elasticity: Capable of deploying over 1,000 nodes in a distributed cluster to effortlessly handle highly concurrent
