Overview

GaussDB is a distributed relational database developed by Huawei. GaussDB supports distributed transactions and intra-city deployment across AZs for zero data loss, storage for petabytes of data, and scale-up to more than 1,000 nodes. It is highly available, secure, and scalable and provides services including quick deployment, backup, restoration, monitoring, and alarm reporting for enterprises.

This document describes how to use application programming interfaces (APIs) to perform operations on instances, such as creating, deleting, querying and scaling out instances. For operation details, see API Overview.

If you plan to access GaussDB through an API, ensure that you are familiar with GaussDB concepts. For details, see Service Overview.
