Tencent Big Data Suite
Shenzhen, China
What it is
Tencent Big Data Suite (TBDS) is a platform for storing, computing, and analyzing large data sets with a pan-Hadoop-compatible stack and lakehouse architecture. It handles structured and unstructured data together and supports SQL analysis using models exposed as UDF functions. Its data-lake design uses Cloud Object Storage, Iceberg, and Luoshu, with open table formats, streaming ingestion, and ACID transactions. TBDS schedules resources across clusters, can start and stop them in seconds, and elastically scales storage and computing. Tencent describes deployments from single-digit nodes to tens of thousands, with more than 100,000 nodes per project and 10,000 per cluster. It can run at a customer facility, including an IDC, and supports Kubernetes and standardized open APIs. Security controls include separation of duty, transparent encryption, data desensitization, mandatory access control, and auditing. Tencent also describes active-active operation, multi-region disaster recovery, and availability up to 99.999%.
