When it comes to database architecture, financial institutions often face fundamental questions: centralized or distributed? OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) or OLAP (Online Analytical Processing)? The choice of product architecture and database type is a crucial decision for financial users.

In terms of database architecture, the financial industry is seeing the coexistence of centralized and distributed models. OLTP databases dominate in terms of application share, but the demand for OLAP and HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) is also growing.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the choice of architecture and product type; what matters most is finding the right fit. Financial institutions consider many factors when choosing a technology architecture, including anticipated data growth, the existing technical roadmap, and available technical talent. Key decision-making factors for choosing a database product include compatibility, performance, stability, the vendor's technological development capabilities, long-term commercial operations, ecosystem support, and technical services.
