In the following years, we will definitely migrate more clusters from MySQL to TiDB, use TiCDC to set up multi-region clusters on AWS for failover, and try TiFlash for instant analytical queries.

TiDB's architecture, sort of a SQL layer on top of a key value store, was more scalable and more likely to cause fewer problems down the line. With TiDB, we don't need to worry about cross-charge transactions. That's huge.

The ease and comfort of getting started are paramount for us, and the fully managed operations of TiDB Serverless allow us to focus more on our core business, ensuring that our development resources are utilized where they matter most.

The NO.1 benefit is simplicity. With TiDB, our applications can retain their SQL data model and the ACID guarantees. We don't have to implement any kind of sharding logic, and the database management becomes simpler too.

Scale-in and scale-out in a cluster configuration is also easy, and the ecosystem is very rich, with operation monitoring tools such as Grafana being able to be installed immediately with the installation command (TiUP).
