Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use TiDB as a database for my real-time stock analytics platform, and it resolves quite a few problems I faced with a single large instance of Postgres. TiDB performs well under heavy load while monitoring a large number of stocks. I love the MySQL compatibility, which made the migration from Postgres to TiDB easy without needing to learn a new framework. The HTAP feature eliminates the need for dedicated ETL pipelines for analytics, and the strong consistency is crucial for accurate financial transactions. I also appreciate the separation of compute versus storage, allowing me to scale them independently as needed. The initial setup for testing the migration was easy, making the transition smoother for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
- The plan optimizer was sometimes unstable - The UI can be better - Learning curve of distributed architecture is challenging
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find TiDB handles heavy loads, integrates HTAP to eliminate ETL pipelines, ensures strong consistency for financial data, and reduces costs. The MySQL compatibility eases migration, and separation of compute and storage allows independent scaling.

Seamless Scalability with TiDB's Powerful HTAP
Reviewed on Feb 14, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use TiDB as the primary database for my LLM testing project, AIBenchFlow, because it stores large volumes of data efficiently. TiDB is excellent for scalability, performance, and consistency, which is crucial as my project runs thousands of tests concurrently. The MySQL compatibility was a huge plus since it made integration fast without needing to learn a new tech stack. I really like the distributed architecture, which makes scalability seamless, allowing TiDB to scale horizontally without much of my attention. The HTAP feature is fantastic because it lets me run transactions and analytics on the same system, eliminating the need for a separate pipeline just for analytics. The initial setup with TiDB Cloud was easy, and during the testing phase of the migration from MySQL, we were able to replicate the setup within a day.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area I think could be improved is the learning curve around its distributed architecture. Though the docs are solid, it can feel overwhelming at first. More beginner friendly real-world examples would help newbies like me. The most overwhelming aspect was to understand how its components - SQL layer, storage layer etc.. work together in a distributed cluster. Better diagrams and videos could be help a beginner like me. Since, my project requires real time analytics and transactions, more concrete examples on the performance tuning would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB solves scalability, performance, and consistency challenges. It scales well without degrading performance and ensures strong consistency for transactions. Its MySQL compatibility made integration seamless, reducing costs and maintenance as it handles HTAP workloads in a single system.

Seamless Integration, Reliable and Scalable
Reviewed on Feb 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how flexible TiDB is. It allows our system to grow without needing big changes to the overall structure. Even as we add new features like more agents, more analytics, and more personalization, the database doesn't slow things down or become a limiting factor. Another thing that works really well is how TiDB stays out of the way. There's no need to constantly tweak settings or worry about scaling as usage changes. This kind of easy to maintain reliability is really useful when the main focus is on AI orchestration and user experience, not on managing the database itself. The initial setup was also smooth and simple to add to our current cloud system, which makes it fit well into the larger ecosystem without causing any extra work or complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Monitoring and performance tracking could be more user friendly. Even though the system is strong, having simpler, more focused insights would help new startups or hackathon teams learn faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB keeps user data and recommendations up-to-date and in sync, ensuring reliable nutrition advice. It handles structured health data safely, supports growth without slowing down, and is easy to maintain, letting us focus on AI orchestration and user experience.

Revolutionized Resume Matching with Seamless Database Integration
Reviewed on Feb 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that TiDB has native support for vectors along with full compatibility with SQL. It allows us to seamlessly use semantic similarity search while managing structured candidate data and compliance processes. Its built-in vector support means we can store embeddings and conduct cosine similarity searches directly with relational data without needing to maintain separate systems. I also value TiDB's scalability and serverless approach, which helps us handle an increasing number of resume uploads and recruiter searches without infrastructure setup or maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area that could use improvement is the need for more guidance and examples that specifically focus on optimizing vector search at a large scale. Although TiDB's built-in vector search support functions well, adjusting the performance of similarity searches and choosing the right indexing methods required some trial and error during development. More hands-on documentation that's relevant to real-world applications, like resume matching or recommendation systems, would help teams learn and apply best practices more quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB solves the challenge of merging semantic search with structured hiring by supporting both relational data and vector searches in one scalable solution. I like its scalability, serverless approach, and SQL compatibility, which help manage resume uploads and searches without extra infrastructure setup.
