OceanBase Database, is an open-source, distributed Hybrid Transactional/Real-time Operational Analytics (HTAP) database management system that has set new world records in both the TPC-C and TPC-H benchmark tests. OceanBase Database starts from 2010, and it has been serving all of the critical systems in Alipay. Besides Alipay, OceanBase has also been serving customer from a variety of sectors, including Internet, financial services, telecommunications and retail industry.
In this tech talk, we will talk about the architecture of OceanBase and some typical use cases. This talk will include some technical topic such as Paxos replication, 2PC commit, LSM-Tree like storage, SQL optimizer and executor, city-level disaster recovery, etc.

Fireworks AI is a leading inference cloud provider for Generative AI, powering real-time inference and fine-tuning services for customers' applications that require minimal latency, high throughput, and high concurrency. Their GPU infrastructure spans 10+ clouds and 15+ regions, serving enterprises and developers deploying production AI workloads at scale.
With model sizes reaching 70GB+, Fireworks AI faced critical challenges: eliminating cold start delays, managing highly concurrent model downloads across GPU clusters, reducing tens of thousands in annual cloud egress costs, and automating manual pipeline management that consumed 4+ hours weekly. They chose Alluxio as their solution to scale with their hyper-growth without requiring dedicated infrastructure resources.
In this tech talk, Akram Bawayah, Software Engineer at Fireworks AI, and Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, share how Fireworks AI uses Alluxio to power their multi-cloud inference infrastructure.
They discuss:
- How Fireworks AI uses Alluxio in its high-performance model distribution system to deliver fast, reliable inference across multiple clouds
- How implementing Alluxio distributed caching achieved 1TB/s+ model deployment throughput, reducing model loading from hours to minutes while significantly cutting cloud egress costs
- How to simplify infrastructure operations and seamlessly scale model distribution across multi-cloud GPU environments
