TiDB loves open-source. We contribute code, sponsor projects and deeply appreciate developers who actively contribute to the community.
As a token of our appreciation, we're offering up to $2000 in free TiDB Serverless credits to fuel open-source hero's next big idea.
TiDB Serverless is a highly scalable, vector search built-in, and cost-effective serverless database, which is dedicated to powering modern applications with simple solutions. Read more.
With it, you can:
In the following years, we will definitely migrate more clusters from MySQL to TiDB, use TiCDC to set up multi-region clusters on AWS for failover, and try TiFlash for instant analytical queries.
TiDB's architecture, sort of a SQL layer on top of a key value store, was more scalable and more likely to cause fewer problems down the line. With TiDB, we don't need to worry about cross-charge transactions. That's huge.
The ease and comfort of getting started are paramount for us, and the fully managed operations of TiDB Serverless allow us to focus more on our core business, ensuring that our development resources are utilized where they matter most.
We heavily utilized TiDB's serverless feature to power our backend. This allowed us to scale our backend to handle thousands of requests per second effortlessly while keeping costs low, as we only pay for what we use.
The NO.1 benefit is simplicity. With TiDB, our applications can retain their SQL data model and the ACID guarantees. We don't have to implement any kind of sharding logic, and the database management becomes simpler too.
TiDB Serverless is especially beneficial for experimental or early-stage features. It's cost-effective for startups, scalable, and development-friendly.
With TiDB Serverless, setting up a database is as easy as clicking a button. It handles analytics seamlessly, without the need for manual scaling.
Scale-in and scale-out in a cluster configuration is also easy, and the ecosystem is very rich, with operation monitoring tools such as Grafana being able to be installed immediately with the installation command (TiUP).
TiDB Serverless's automatic scaling capabilities allow us to swiftly scale up to meet performance demands and scale down during quieter periods for optimizing costs.
We take pride in our open-source roots.
With the developer community, we align our product, to make sure it perfectly fits modern application developer's needs.
