PolarDB Serverless: A Cloud Native Database for Disaggregated Data Centers
Summary: PolarDB Serverless enables disaggregated data centers by decoupling CPU from remote memory and storage pools with on-demand provisioning. Optimistic locking and index-aware prefetching mitigate disaggregation penalties, yielding 5.3× faster recovery. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
