PolarDB Description
PolarDB is for business-critical databases that require high concurrency, fast performance, and automatic scaling. With 15 low latency read replicas and up to 100 TB per database cluster, you can scale up millions of queries per second. PolarDB is six times faster that standard MySQL databases and offers the same security, reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness as traditional commercial databases. PolarDB is built on the database technology and best practices that have been developed over the past decade to support large-scale events like the Alibaba Double 11 Global Shopping Festival. We are pleased to offer Always Free ApsaraDB (all three versions) for developers. This is available when you use no more that 1 instance (2-core, 8GB of memory, and up 50GB of storage). Register now to keep this benefit. You can renew each month by signing up. The availability of regional resources is subject to change.
