Really awesome distributed database with HTAP capability
What do you like best about the product?
1. TiDB combines the best of both worlds from relational and non relational database and levering the strong suit.
2. Open source-ness and transparency.
3. Efficient operations that handles the read heavy and write heavy workloads.
4. MySQL APIs are really helpful such that no special driver is required for TiDB.
5. Raft consensus protocol really stands out
6. Easy to learn and easy to setup, even the able to setup the instance in local

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much, some of the mysql functions, triggers were missing in the TiDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Distributed database systems helping us to scale huge workloads
2. HTAP is really helpful, because we have use case that required transactional and analytical data

TiBD Breakdown: good and not so good
What do you like best about the product?
It’s super scalable and fast for big data, work seamlessly with MySQL and easy peasy set up to use
What do you dislike about the product?
In my experience, the performance isn’t always stable, especially with heavy queries. Even though it’s MySql compatible, i ran into a few issues where certain features weren’t fully supported. Also, some import Features are only available in the paid version which was a limiting for my use case
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps handle big data easily and make system faster. Less downtime and more productivity

What do you like best about the product?
Free for use and SQL cloude base provider
What do you dislike about the product?
As I a newbie in this platform i did not found any dislike yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I am find and way to host my data base on cloud so TiDB helped me to host my database free
Great with availability and scalability, but the operation cost is very high, Difficult to setup
What do you like best about the product?
TiDB perfectly meets our scalability and high availability expectations. Once properly tuned, TiDB has met our high-throughput demands without missing a beat. We’ve been able to add new TiKV nodes to absorb surges in write traffic and watched data rebalance itself. When it comes to High availability, TiDB’s multi-replica Raft setup worked great for us.
Ease of use & integration is great.
If we talk about the Frequency, we needed a database which can support 10K QPS, which was perfectly meet by TIDB

What do you dislike about the product?
Running TiDB isn’t cheap. To get real redundancy we’ve got at least five large instances, each with plenty of CPU, memory, and disk I/O. Plus you need extra storage for replicas and engineers to manage everything. All together, our cloud bill and staffing costs can add up quickly.
Ease of implementation is quite difficult as Deployment using helm is an overhead as our team isn't very strong with Kubernetes. So we had to spend some time to get things running using the binaries and docker. We created a docker-compose of our know cause the provided compose want working in my case.
Another thing to note is that the TiDB community is still quite small. When we ran into problems, there weren’t many active users or resources online to help. It made troubleshooting slower and sometimes left us waiting for answers from the customer support or the dev team.

Solves scalability and real-time analytics challenges
My Experience
What do you like best about the product?
A cloud-based solution for free SQL that is easy to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since I am new and just started, I did not find any dislike or negative aspects.

As i am founding way for provide the free data base for hobby and learning project TiDB Will me for that and reduce my pain.
TiDB for large scale databases
What do you like best about the product?
TiDB really helps me as a DBA when running large databases, both in size and QPS. Since it's distributed it's easy to scale out horizontally when growth presents itself. It also has many operations-friendly features like Online DDL, TTL, automatic sharding, etc. that removes many of the pain point of running traditional MySQL in large setups. Documentation is really good and it's fairly easy to get started and migrate workloads from traditional MySQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides are it's a more complex piece of software so harder to learn, perf tune and become a real expert on it. Since it's also much newer, it still has some bugs/missing features that need to be fixed/implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DBA operations at large scale
Could've been great if it had extended abilities in TiCDC
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about TiDB is how it brings together horizontal scalability and the ease of SQL with minimal friction. The MySQL compatibility made adoption smooth, and the HTAP architecture is a big plus for handling both transactional and analytical workloads without splitting systems. On top of that, the support has been great, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful when it matters.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I really like TiDB overall, I’ve had a rough time with TiCDC in production. Getting it stable and handling edge cases reliably has taken more effort than expected. Some of the tooling around data replication and observability still feels like it needs more maturity. That said, the direction it's heading in gives me confidence things will improve. But now it is not at all dev-friendly and deployment friendly atleast the TiCDC part of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We initially explored TiDB as a way to consolidate our transactional and analytical workloads, which are currently split between MongoDB and Snowflake. Syncing data between the two has been a pain point, and TiDB’s HTAP capabilities looked like a promising solution. The idea of using a single system for both workloads, with strong consistency and horizontal scalability, was really appealing. Unfortunately, the lack of support for private hosting became a blocker for us, which was disappointing given how aligned the architecture was with our needs.
Best distributed SQL database offering
What do you like best about the product?
TiDB is an excellent distributed database offering by Pingcap which provides all features along with great stability like scalability, availability, durability etc while also giving excellent performance both in terms of throughput and latency. We have managed to scale TiDB to scale to over 1 million QPS with less than 50ms latency at Flipkart which is sufficient for most requirements for SQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
The architecture is fairly complex due to which debugging latency or issues in SQL is a hastle and requires deep expertise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TIDB is solving mostly scalabiilty and availability problems at Flipkart while supporting standard SQL. It is performing better than expectations in terms of performance and also has a very active community which help drive improvements and feature additions quickly.
Truly distributed MySQL supported database
What do you like best about the product?
It's the comprehensive MySQL distributed database, there are many similar database in market but they have lot of restrictions like Amazon DSQL, Google Alloy, Amazon Aurora etc. none of them are true distributed solution as they assume many things and solve for specific usecases. Also none of them are HTAP databases which is an advantage for TiDB.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few things majorly CDC not being transactional consistent, very complex monitoring systems, hard to debug issues on your own. These are not major things but they definitely impact adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The 2 major features for us were horizontal scaling and high availability using raft. These two helped us not worry about fitting our data into instance size / headache of manual sharding. Also HA was a major requirement for us as Master slave architecture always results in data loss and downtime for even single node failure
