Zhibai Song is a software engineer with a decade of experience building and optimizing cloud-native databases and high-consistency systems. He has deep, hands‑on expertise in both MySQL and PostgreSQL engine development and has been a core contributor to cloud database projects including PolarDB and Amazon Aurora. At AWS he worked on Aurora MySQL serverless and Aurora PostgreSQL features such as serverless transactions and Babelfish execution support, while at Alibaba Cloud he helped design a fully MySQL‑compatible shared‑disk PolarDB with parallel query optimizations. Earlier work includes designing a TCC microservice transaction framework for Alipay that evolved into the open-source Seata project, showing his familiarity with payment-scale consistency and distributed transactions. Based in Bellevue, WA, he combines low-level storage/engine design with practical production experience delivering large-scale, data-intensive systems. An uncommon strength is his ability to span share‑nothing, shared‑storage, and shared‑log architectures and implement them from scratch or by evolving open-source stacks.
