Effortless MySQL Scaling | TiDB Solutions

The Trusted MySQL Alternative for 1000s of Customers Globally

Why MySQL Can’t Scale With You

Scaling MySQL often means fighting your own architecture.
Common challenges that hold teams back:

Lost Developer Productivity

Tedious workarounds shift developers away from building features to fixing database gaps

Increased Business Risk

Homemade, purpose-built solutions increase the chances of system failures while adding complexity

Escalating Operational Costs

Database sprawl eats into profits that could be better invested in growing the business

MySQL’s monolithic architecture runs on a single server where query processing, transaction management, and storage are tightly coupled within a single node.

Scaling out this architecture is difficult because MySQL wasn’t built to natively distribute data across multiple nodes. Most teams rely on replication or manual sharding workarounds that add complexity and limit scalability.

How Teams Use TiDB to Scale MySQL Workloads

TiDB is built to help teams evolve from managing databases to scaling intelligently across any workload. TiDB serves as the ideal distributed database to power applications and businesses across fintech, retail & e-commerce, SaaS, AI, gaming, and more.

Unlimited Elasticity

Scale your applications with a distributed scale-out architecture and bottomless storage.

Best-in-Class Resiliency

High availability, disaster recovery, point-in-time recovery (PiTR), backup and restore, and multi-availability zone (AZ) failover.

Simplified Data Platform

Provides a single endpoint for transactional and analytical workloads while guaranteeing strong data consistency.

Extensible APIs

MySQL wire protocol compatibility plus connectors to Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Kubernetes and more.

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Enabled

Deploy database clusters anywhere in the world, in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments on VMs, containers, or bare metal.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Encrypt data both in-flight and at-rest.

Scale Out Beyond MySQL with TiDB

TiDB offers an ultra-reliable distributed SQL database that provides MySQL wire compatibility, horizontal scalability, and strong consistency. It decouples compute from storage, allowing each component to scale out independently.

With TiDB, data is automatically sharded into small chunks and distributed across storage nodes. This sharding is transparent to the user and can handle massive amounts of data—far beyond what a single node can manage.
