Unlimited Elasticity
TiDB scales applications with a distributed scale-out architecture that separates compute from storage while offering bottomless storage.
Best-in-Class Resiliency
TiDB powers enterprise applications with high availability, disaster recovery (DR), limitless point-in-time recovery (PiTR), and multi- availability zone (AZ) failover.
Extensible APIs
TiDB comes with built-in MySQL wire compatibility plus connectors to Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Kubernetes, and more.
Consolidated Data Platform
TiDB provides a single endpoint for transactional and analytical workloads while guaranteeing strong ACID consistency at scale.
Hybrid and Multi-Cloud by Default
With TiDB, IT teams can deploy database clusters on any cloud environment across VMs, containers, or bare metal.
Enterprise-Grade Security
TiDB encrypts data both in-flight and at rest.
Consolidated Data Platform for Large, Complex Workloads
Technical complexity increases as the need for scaling and high availability goes up. Implementing manual sharding methods, clustering, or sophisticated replication to achieve these goals only increases the maintenance overhead and need for specialized expertise.
TiDB offers an integrated solution for both online transactional (OLTP) and online analytical (OLAP) processing that reduces the need for additional middleware or configurations, reducing the operational burden that comes with scaling large, complex workloads.
Fred Wulff, VP of Engineering
“TiDB enables Streak users to share emails and metadata effortlessly, and enables our developers to move faster than ever before.”
Boris Savelev, SRE Manager
“In the following years, we will rely on TiDB even more, including migrating more clusters from MySQL to TiDB and using TiCDC to set up multi-region clusters on AWS for failover.”
Kentaro Kitagawa, Senior Database Administrator
“Scale-in and scale-out in a cluster configuration is easy, and the ecosystem is very rich, with operational monitoring installed immediately with the installation command (TiUP).”
