Oxla vs. Other OLAP Solutions

8min

There are several different types of distributed database management systems (DBMS). But there isn't a database system that works for everyone. Each makes different compromises to suit particular situations. In this section, we attempt to explain how Oxla differs from other OLAP-using systems.

The Comparison

The comparison tests were performed on a single node; using more nodes will significantly improve the results. Below are the detailed prototype test results on AWS between Oxla and selected alternatives (ClickHouse, Presto, Parquet):

a) Performance

Oxla

ClickHouse

Supports a lot of Clauses, Data Types, and Functions. Such as GROUP BY, JOIN (INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, OUTER JOIN) We also support uncorrelated subqueries e.g.

  • SELECT num
  • COUNT(*) count FROM (SELECT ageCOUNT(*) as num FROM user GROUP BY age)

Non-standard SQL-like query language with several limitations.

Oxla has homogenous architecture: there are no workers, data, or master nodes. One of the nodes is dynamically selected as the leader with no single point of failure.

On-premise with dedicated clusters, no elasticity. We need to migrate into bigger/smaller clusters.

b) Cost

Oxla

ClickHouse

$0.023 per GB/month

$0.24 per GB/month

Conclusion

Our tests show that Oxla's performance surpasses all other distributed database management systems with the following results:

  • Oxla processes a large number of data at an extremely high data processing speed.
  • Oxla can reduce 80% of data infrastructure costs compared to the others.
  • Oxla will not be affected by the massive data you have. The storage (RAM) needed will stay low with a small cost you pay.

Now What?

Understanding Oxla and then comparing it with other solutions made us realize that there are a lot of choices in today’s database market - but in the end, there will be only one right tool for the job.

We suggest you take a step back and evaluate your products, team talents, market, and needs before deciding what to use for your business. Choosing the right technology today can make a huge difference now and in the future.

✅ Choose an architecture that will grow with you rather than one that makes you start over.
