to driving industry advancement through sharing and collaboration, while connecting and empowering users worldwide.
“World Through Open Source” is a profound statement in today’s context of globalization and technology-driven development.
Open source technology plays a central role in the modern software industry, especially in the field of foundational database software. Highgo’s integration of this philosophy into its core mission reflects the company’s global vision and forward-thinking mindset.
The open-sourcing of IvorySQL is a concrete embodiment of Highgo’s mission to “Connect the World Through Open Source.”
By building a robust database ecosystem and connecting global technological forces, the development of IvorySQL has strengthened the open-source database community, brought together talent from around the world, and driven innovation and advancement in database technologies.
IvorySQL is an open-source database product based on PostgreSQL, initiated by HighGo in 2021.
Building on years of experience developing Oracle compatibility features, Highgo open-sourced the core components of these features and officially announced the IvorySQL open-source project at the PostgreSQL Conference in the United States in 2021.
The open-sourcing of IvorySQL has brought—and is expected to continue bringing—many positive impacts to the database industry:
Promoting technological innovation and advancement, enhancing the overall competitiveness of database technologies.
Meeting user needs by delivering higher-quality database products and services.
Driving ecosystem development and expanding the pool of skilled professionals in the database field.
Since its open-source release, IvorySQL has received widespread attention and support from database communities both in China and abroad.
IvorySQL has gained significant traction on GitHub and is supported by an active contributor community from around the world.
It has already been successfully applied in various industries, including finance, telecommunications, and the internet sector, delivering strong and reliable results.
This reflects Highgo’s comprehensive perspective and strategic vision for the future development of database technology.
Understanding and meeting customer needs is key to the evolution of database technology.
Highgo actively participates in open-source development with an open mindset, working closely with customers to create more innovative and effective solutions.
Contributors here refer not only to Highgo’s internal team members, but also to our customers, partners, and all members of the open-source community.
Within the open-source culture, contributors collaborate and share knowledge and technology. This collaborative model accelerates innovation and improvement, ultimately benefiting database users around the world.
In the face of a complex and ever-changing policy environment and market competition, the guiding principle for everyone at HighGo is to “emancipate the mind and seek truth from facts.”
Highgo employees take ownership, stand by their commitments, avoid complaints, and do not make excuses for failure.
Openness at HighGo goes beyond business and technology — it embodies the spirit of open source, using it to connect technologies, customers, and products.
Sharing at Highgo means that everyone participates, contributes their best effort, and benefits together. Sharing leads collaborative development, and collaboration, in turn, drives further sharing.
