Introduction:

Recently, Gartner officially released the 2024 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems, with 20 vendors recognized worldwide. Alibaba Cloud has been named as a Leader basis on its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

Gartner defines the market for cloud database management systems (DBMSs) as the market for software products that store and manipulate data and that are primarily delivered as software as a service (SaaS) in the cloud. Cloud DBMSs may optionally be capable of running on-premises, or in hybrid, multicloud or intercloud configurations. They can be used for transactional and/or analytical work. They may have features that enable them to participate in a wider data ecosystem. They typically persist data using proprietary components in a durable manner, enabling a full range of create, read, update and delete operations.
