HighGo

HighGo (瀚高) is a Chinese enterprise software company specializing in database management systems and related infrastructure. Positioning itself as a "domestic basic software pioneer," the company's mission is to "link the world with open source," emphasizing the role of open-source technology in database foundation software. HighGo develops and commercializes the HighGo Database Management System (HGDB), a PostgreSQL-derived relational database, along with clustering, tooling, and cloud product lines. Its flagship HGDB V9 is designed for enterprise-grade workloads, supporting massive data volumes and high-concurrency complex applications, and is positioned as a milestone product in China's domestic database sector. HighGo is deeply engaged in the global PostgreSQL ecosystem. According to its official website, the company ranks at the top of the PostgreSQL international community's official blog contribution list, having submitted over 800 patches and more than 300 bug reports to the international community, involving over 1,500,000 lines of code across more than 20 communities including GitHub, PostgreSQL, Patroni, PGAudit, DBeaver, and Postgres-Operator. This open-source leadership underpins its commercial offerings and its credibility in the domestic substitution (国产化替代) market. In late 2021, HighGo founded the IvorySQL open-source community, an international project that maintains synchronization with the latest PostgreSQL kernel while providing more comprehensive and flexible Oracle compatibility. IvorySQL 4.0 was officially announced by the PostgreSQL international community in December 2024, marking a significant milestone for the project. The community has accumulated over 50,000 commits and more than 950,000 lines of open-source code contributions, and has participated in or hosted over 30 open-source events domestically and internationally. The latest version, IvorySQL v4.6, was released on September 10, 2025. HighGo's product portfolio is organized into four lines: Database (HGDB V9.0 and HighGo Secure Database V4.5), Cluster (HighGo High-Availability Cluster V4.2 and HighGo Read-Write Splitting Cluster V6.0), Tools (database development and management tools, operations and implementation tools, supervision and analysis platform, and ByteSynch data fusion platform), and Cloud (HighGo Database Cloud Service Platform). The company serves key industries including central state-owned enterprises, finance, energy and power, and telecom operators, with case studies such as Shenzhen Bus Group's financial digitalization project, a foreign bank's batch processing domestic database replacement, NARI Relays' grid automation system localization, and a China Mobile provincial company's O-domain business system replacement. HighGo provides a four-dimensional service network: a 7x24 expert call center, regional service teams for application adaptation and project delivery, headquarters support for kernel source-level customization, and third-party certified after-sales service capabilities through partners. The company actively recruits channel sales managers, software sales managers, R&D engineers, and test engineers across China, indicating ongoing expansion. HighGo's contributions have been recognized by industry analysts and open-source organizations, including being named a major participant in China's open-source database industry by iResearch, ranking in the GitHub Top 35 Chinese open-source projects by InfoQ, and receiving multiple awards from OSCHINA and the PostgreSQL branch of the China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance.

HighGo (瀚高) is a Chinese database software company that has positioned itself as a pioneer in domestic basic software. While the exact founding year is not provided in the available evidence, the company has grown to become a significant player in China's database industry, particularly in the context of the country's push for domestic substitution of foreign technology. The company's core mission, "linking the world with open source," reflects its strategy of leveraging open-source PostgreSQL as the foundation for its commercial database products. HighGo has been an active contributor to the global PostgreSQL community. According to its official website, the company ranks at the top of the PostgreSQL international community's official blog contribution list, having submitted over 800 patches and more than 300 bug reports, involving over 1,500,000 lines of code across more than 20 communities including GitHub, PostgreSQL, Patroni, PGAudit, DBeaver, and Postgres-Operator. This deep engagement with open source has been a key differentiator and a source of technical credibility. A major milestone in HighGo's history was the founding of the IvorySQL open-source community in late 2021. IvorySQL is an international open-source project that maintains synchronization with the latest PostgreSQL kernel while providing more comprehensive and flexible Oracle compatibility. This addresses a critical need in the Chinese market, where many enterprises have legacy Oracle-based systems and require a smooth migration path to domestic databases. The IvorySQL community has grown rapidly, accumulating over 50,000 commits and more than 950,000 lines of open-source code contributions, and has participated in or hosted over 30 open-source events domestically and internationally. In December 2024, the PostgreSQL international community officially announced the release of IvorySQL 4.0, a significant recognition of the project's maturity. The latest version, IvorySQL v4.6, was released on September 10, 2025. HighGo's commercial product line has evolved to include the HighGo Database Management System (HGDB), with version 9.0 being a flagship enterprise-grade product designed for massive data and high-concurrency complex applications. The company also offers a secure version (V4.5) tailored for China's security-critical IT systems, as well as clustering software (High-Availability V4.2 and Read-Write Splitting V6.0), a suite of database tools (development management, operations implementation, supervision and analysis, and ByteSynch data fusion), and a cloud service platform. HighGo has built a four-dimensional service network: a 7x24 expert call center, regional service teams for application adaptation and project delivery, headquarters support for kernel source-level customization, and third-party certified after-sales service capabilities through partners. The company serves key industries such as central state-owned enterprises, finance, energy and power, and telecom operators. Notable case studies include Shenzhen Bus Group's financial digitalization project, a foreign bank's batch processing domestic database replacement, NARI Relays' grid automation system localization, and a China Mobile provincial company's O-domain business system replacement. HighGo's contributions have been recognized by industry analysts and open-source organizations. It was named a major participant in China's open-source database industry by iResearch in its 2023 White Paper on China's Basic Software Open Source Industry, ranked in the GitHub Top 35 Chinese open-source projects by InfoQ's 2023 China Open Source Ecosystem Map, and included in the 2023 China Open Source Development Blue Book by the China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance (COPU). The company also received the 2023 OSCHINA Annual Outstanding Open Source Technology Team Award, the 2023 Annual Innovative Open Source Product Award from the PostgreSQL branch of COPU, the Annual Outstanding Contributing Enterprise award from the OpenClouds community, and the 2024 Annual Open Source Community Building Award. HighGo continues to expand its team, recruiting for roles such as channel sales managers, software sales managers, R&D engineers, and test engineers across China.
