But it does not automatically shrink the fleet. Most teams arrive on TiDB still running the cluster topology their old architecture forced on them: one database per service, replicas for read scale, and separate systems for reporting. In this hands-on lab, we consolidate that sprawl. You&#8217;ll see how Resource Groups isolate workloads on shared infrastructure so a batch job cannot starve production traffic.
