Description
In this TiDB SCaiLE 2025 keynote, PingCAP Head of Product Management Ben Meadowcroft provides a window into the next era of TiDB: moving to workload-aware scale so you pay for action, not allocation. You’ll discover how the new TiDB X architecture combines cloud object storage, a shared-storage KV engine, and a workload-aware scaling engine that spins resources up/down automatically to keep P99 stable—even when heavy jobs run alongside OLTP traffic.
Ben highlights TiDB’s latest enhancements including: TiDB X, an enhanced AI experience, and ecosystem integrations. For AI builders, TiDB adds hybrid search, AI-ready indexing, model access within the kernel, and a unified query engine for agentic reasoning—so agents can combine vector, graph, JSON, and SQL context, remember outcomes, and reason across multi-hop chains.
