What we’re about
TiDB stands out in the database market for its ability to combine the scalability of NoSQL systems with the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) guarantees of traditional relational databases. It achieves this through a distributed architecture that is compatible with MySQL, allowing users to migrate their existing MySQL-based applications with minimal modifications.
Some key features of TiDB include:
Distributed Architecture: TiDB is built on a distributed model that allows it to scale horizontally, enabling high availability and increased performance.
Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing: TiDB supports both OLTP and OLAP workloads, making it suitable for scenarios where real-time analytics are required alongside transactional operations.
Consistency and ACID Compliance: TiDB ensures strong consistency and provides ACID guarantees, which are vital for applications requiring data integrity.
Compatibility with MySQL: TiDB is compatible with MySQL protocol, which means applications using MySQL as the underlying database can be easily migrated to TiDB without significant code changes.
