GaussDB: A Cloud-Native Multi-Primary Database with Compute-Memory-Storage Disaggregation
Summary: GaussDB is a cloud-native multi-primary DBMS with compute–memory–storage disaggregation that assigns logical page ownership to compute nodes and migrates pages on demand to enable local execution and scalable multi-writer throughput. A global memory layer for buffer/lock management, affinity-aware page placement and query routing to reduce transfers, and two-tier (memory+storage) checkpointing speed recovery and improve latency/throughput; production-deployed at Huawei.
