"Oceanbase:Strong consistency, seamless scaling, and High MySQL Comp."

What do you like best about OceanBase Database?

The multi-tenant resource isolation is remarkable. We run production, staging, and analytics workloads in the same cluster with CPU/memory quotas enforced at the tenant level. No more over-provisioning separate clusters for environment separation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would love to see a serverless billing option for unpredictable, sporadic workloads to further optimize costs during idle periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
