Many teams start on Azure Database for MySQL for its simplicity. However, when data volumes and concurrent users surge, they hit single-node ceilings, replica sprawl, and rising ops costs. But how can you achieve next-level database performance without rearchitecting your Azure environment?

In this white paper, you’ll discover when Azure MySQL is enough and when a cloud-native, distributed SQL approach with TiDB is the better path. You’ll explore:

    • A side-by-side view of the features and capabilities of each database.
    • The differences between TiDB and Azure MySQL’s architecture—and why this matters for horizontal scaling and latency.
    • An in-depth breakdown of data consistency models, disaster recovery options, and high availability solutions.
    • The versatility of each database to handle various workloads, environments, and operational requirements.

By the end, you’ll have the clarity to select the right foundation for your next greenfield or modernization project on Azure. Download this comparison white paper to see which approach best fits your requirements.
