The core product is YonBIP. This is a platform based and ecological cloud service group that UFIDA adopts a new generation of information technology and is designed according to the cloud native, metadata driven, platform based and data separated architecture, covering platform services, application services, business services and data services, integrating tools, capabilities and resource services, and serving enterprises and industrial business innovation.

Business challenges

Yonyou's iuap platform is the technical support base of YonBIP, among which the iuap technology direction includes cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, mobile Internet, Internet of Things and blockchain technology.

The idea of UFIDA iuap is to integrate six technologies, build a digital base for enterprises, reduce the technical threshold and facilitate business innovation. Its core modules include three middle platforms and three platform architecture, which are business middle platform, data middle platform, intelligent middle platform, technology platform, low code development platform and connection integration platform. This business has covered the needs of large, small and medium-sized enterprises. The scale of core business data can reach 10 billion yuan. The data retention time is long and the business functions are complex.

As the PaaS platform of YonBIP, The iuap needs to ensure the stability of YonBIP business. In addition, because the PaaS platform is built on the IaaS layer of the cloud platform, there are also high requirements for the bottom layer. For example, the database requires stability, reliability, high performance, high security and compatibility with mainstream databases. In terms of core competence, UFIDA expects to co create or customize good upstream and downstream ecological product capabilities to ensure that its R&D team focuses on business, which requires that the cooperative technical team can deeply understand UFIDA's scenarios and be able to focus on needs and capabilities in real time.

"When using databases, enterprises need to pay special attention to database selection, product co creation and data management: database selection has a wide range of influence, which directly determines whether the products are sustainable; enterprises whose businesses rely heavily on database products must do a good job of product co creation with the database platform to make them more suitable for business; In terms of data management, with the help of a one-stop data management R&D platform, enterprises can efficiently operate, maintain and use data.

sixty-six %

Query time reduced by 66% on average

With the rapid development of UFIDA's marketing business, the database used previously encountered some pain points and appeals, such as complex business queries that were slow and some core functions that timed out during queries; At the end of the month, quarter and year, business queries involve a large number of queries and high concurrency, which requires a rapid jump in database resources and a jump in promotion; The database reading delay is too large to be fully utilized and the expansion ability is insufficient; The migration database requires high compatibility and capacity.

In view of the above pain points, UFIDA finally chose Alibaba Cloud's PolarDB database after full research on mainstream databases. Test certificate, PolarDB parallel query can effectively improve the execution speed of complex queries. Under the marketing cloud verification scenario, the average query time is reduced by 66%, and the problem of query timeout is solved. PolarDB has the flexibility of minute level. It can increase nodes in 5-10 minutes, and vertically upgrade nodes in 15-20 minutes, which can effectively meet the demands of marketing cloud elastic upgrade. At the same time, The PolarDB consistency level setting solves the problem of database read latency and makes full use of the database read.

In the face of compatibility and performance challenges that may arise from cross platform and cross version upgrades, Alibaba Cloud database autonomic service DAS is used in the scheme. The compatibility and performance are evaluated through DAS intelligent pressure testing to ensure that there is no compatibility and performance risk after upgrading from the original database to PolarDB. The scheme collects a full amount of SQL from the production environment, processes and learns the message flow and traffic, and finally falls into OSS to form a compressed file, which can be customized for playback and pressure testing. This solves the cross version compatibility problem of databases and the efficiency problem after migrating databases. Although it seems that the process is very long, you only need to configure the entire migration process on the page. Finally, it can capture real business traffic under low load, write traffic playback pressure test, automatically generate pressure test traffic, and automatically convert syntax.

Financial cloud application PolarDB

UFIDA's financial cloud is a multi tenant form. Some tenants' data and access are skewed seriously. There is a single database and single tenant scenario, and the horizontal splitting effect is not good. And there are many single table columns, SQL is complex and heavily dependent on databases. At the end of the month and the end of the quarter, the amount of data accessed is large and the concurrency is high. The transformation from the traditional database requires that the database product part has the capability of commercial database, and has high requirements for the stability of the product and the continuous investment of the product team.

After many in-depth exchanges with Alibaba Cloud architects, product architects, product research and development, and product managers on site, UFIDA selected PolarDB. Through parallel query and high flexibility of PolarDB, the consistency reading ability can meet the current business needs. And co created column memory, bypass memory Filter Index、 Product capabilities such as multi write, operator push down, and query depth optimization meet the design and planning of financial cloud architecture.

Supply chain cloud application PolarDB

Comprehensive cost reduced by 40%

thirty %

Slow queries reduced by 30%

UFIDA's supply chain cloud includes supply chain cloud, new retail, manufacturing cloud and other business fields, with large amount of data and complex business query model. Taking the supply chain cloud as an example, the database instance involves 2000+tenants, 30000+tables, dozens of business types, and more than 10 complex query scenarios, such as sales analysis, retail collection details, business status query, store goal achievement, commodity inventory query, receipt/issue details, sales shipment push list, material reference list, sales shipment list query, sales issue query Sales receipt query, etc. There are high requirements for the storage capacity, query performance and stability of the database.

After several technical discussions with Alibaba Cloud, it was confirmed that the enterprise level capability IMCI (inventory index) built into PolarDB could solve the demand of supply chain cloud for improving query performance. Through continuous verification, the listed index has been launched, achieving the following effects: the performance of complex query of 5-10 tables with 100 million level data has been improved by 4-40 times, the comprehensive cost has been reduced by 40%, the performance of monthly closing and inventory counting has been improved by 40%, and the slow query has been reduced by 30%.

Iuap cloud platform application DAS
