What MatrixOne is

The product lists horizontal scaling and multi-region deployment. Integrations include Kafka and connectors for Java, Python, and Go; it is also compatible with MySQL management tools such as DBeaver and Navicat. Documented security features include TLS-encrypted connections and role-based access control. MatrixOne supports logical backups with modump and physical backups with mobr. The Community Edition is free forever and includes the latest features through community-driven development. The Enterprise Edition adds professional support, dedicated solutions, and expert SLA response, with pricing handled through sales.
