Scaling to 920M Users - Our TiDB Story

A technical session on distributed databases with Kabilesh PR from Mydbops. He'll talk about moving beyond traditional MySQL when you need to handle really high traffic.
What We'll Cover:
The session covers the technical problems that show up when you scale past single-writer MySQL—write bottlenecks, replication lag, failover issues. We'll talk about how distributed SQL handles these differently, and walk through migration strategies that minimize risk.
You'll hear about real scenarios from production: connection balancing at high load, fixing write hotspots, query optimization, keeping things reliable during infrastructure changes.
Topics Include:
• MySQL's architectural limits at scale
• How distributed SQL works differently
• Zero-downtime migration approaches
• Real troubleshooting from production experience
• When it makes sense to consider TiDB
Who Should Attend:
Database admins, platform engineers, DevOps professionals, architects, anyone working with high-scale systems or planning for growth.
