MySQL has become one of the most popular relational database management systems (RDBMS) on the planet. However, while this database continues to evolve, several MySQL-compatible alternatives have been created to better meet the increasingly complex and data-intensive requirements of distributed cloud-native applications—in particular, microservices and APIs.
In this LIVE tech talk, PingCAP Technology Evangelist Li Shen dives deep into the key design principles behind a popular MySQL-compatible alternative: TiDB. You’ll explore how this open-source, distributed SQL database has evolved over time to meet these requirements.
