AnalyticDB: Real-time OLAP Database System at Alibaba Cloud
Summary: AnalyticDB is a real-time OLAP DB from Alibaba Cloud using asynchronous all-column indexes for low-latency, complex ad-hoc queries. It uses a storage-aware optimizer and a hybrid row-column engine with decoupled read/write paths to scale to 100T+ rows (10PB+), 10M+ writes, and 100k+ QPS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
