What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB provides a scalable SQL database solution. It allows our workload to keep scaling up to support business growth.
Best open source distributed SQL DB on the market
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked the great reliability of TiDB and the technical supports from the PingCAP team.
What do you dislike about the product?
it would be even better if the query layer is written in a programming language without GC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distributed transaction, reliable cluster managemet.
A solid choice to horizontally scale MySQL databases
What do you like best about the product?
TiDB excels at its core task of providing horizontal scalability alongside the guarantees provided by traditional single-machine relational databases. The client interface has great compatibility with MySQL, and the incompatible aspects are well-documented.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the core components (TiDB, TiKV, PD) are mature, some others like TiCDC are less mature. They are however improving continuously.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB provides a path to scale MySQL workloads without hugely expensive re-architectures to move away from MySQL or to implement application-level MySQL sharding.
MySQL Compatible, horizontally scalable database that scales without worry
What do you like best about the product?
* TiDB gives us horizontal scale and strong consistency with familiar MySQL syntax.
* Great observability
* Core components (TiDB SQL, TiKV, PD) are extremely stable
* Easy to implement schemas as we can directly translate them from MySQL for the most part
* Nice features, such as readonly nodes, placement rules, stale reads, TTL
* Good restore features, and self healing

* Good restore features, and self healing
What do you dislike about the product?
Ecosystem is not as mature. There are not a lot of extensions, and some non-core components do not get as much attention or are not as reliable. Despite this, PingCap (the parent company) makes sure to address issues as we encounter them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to scale at lower costs than some other databases with better performance. It also is more stable which reduces KTLO work. It has features that help with resilience such as read only nodes and placement rules. It also supports TTL out of the box meaning we don't need to implement a trigger or workflow to support it.
Furthermore, it reduces having to deal with complex architecture of sharded MySQL and having to deal with manual re-sharding and shard rebalance. It is all abstracted away from me. Lastly, it also unlocks transactions accross shards, since "shards" are abstracted from us.

TiDB is a database you can trust!
What do you like best about the product?
Separation of compute and storage, data security, ease of operation
What do you dislike about the product?
TiDB is an excellent database, and it has no significant shortcomings
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scaling, availability, security
Fast, Efficient and Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy and efficient it is, and the fact that it is MySQL-compatible which eliminates the need to learn another query language before I could use it, makes it my first-choice database.
I also love the promptness of their customer services, they're always there to support you if you run into any challenge.
Lastly, TiDB is that database that gives you assurance that your data is safe and always available up to 99.9999% uptime (I have never had any downtime in over 2 years of using it).

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that is does not yet support of GEO spatial data type.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With applications now running on the Edge, finding a database that just works irrespective of where your application is deployed or where your users are is pain point that TiDB solves for me through low latency.
Effortless Scalability with Hybrid Workloads
What do you like best about the product?
TiDB makes it easy to scale horizontally without complex sharding. It supports both transactional and analytical workloads (HTAP) out of the box, and its MySQL compatibility means minimal changes to existing apps. The Kubernetes operator and built-in observability tools make operations smooth and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
TiDB has a learning curve, especially around its distributed architecture and tuning performance for complex queries. TiFlash setup and resource planning can be tricky at scale. Also, some advanced MySQL features aren’t fully supported yet, which can limit compatibility in certain edge cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB solves the challenge of scaling relational databases without giving up SQL or consistency. It allows us to handle high traffic and large datasets by scaling out horizontally, which wasn’t possible with traditional databases. The HTAP architecture also lets us run real-time analytics on live data, reducing the need for separate systems and improving decision-making speed.
A High-Performance Distributed Database Compatible with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
The most upside of TiDB in my point of view is it's compatibility with MySQL , most of the MySQL syntax supported in it. So it is easy to integrate it with the existing applications and tools and easy to handle by the DBAs.
It is easy to migrate the MySQL data to the TiDB database through the migration tool TiDB DM. This makes it very feasible to implement TiDB alongside existing MySQL infrastructure with minimal disruption.
TiDB's DM feature and TiCDC are widely used features and it is frequently used where real-time analytics is needed on live transactional data.
As we know TiDB providing customer support through the active community on github and slack also provides the great documentation to understand the concepts and usage of tools to make it easy for the users.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main cons in TiDB is it's cost. In many cases, customers are cost-sensitive, and TiDB's distributed architecture while powerful may appear less appealing compared to more lightweight, single-node database solutions.
Connecting with the existing system is easy with TiDB but still the TiKV needs optimization in some situations.
Connecting with the existing system is easy with TiDB but still the TiKV needs optimization in some situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB is used to solve the slowness in the real time analytical query executions and also in the high availability like it can withstand in fail overs. We expected the solution like the database which can be the MySQL compatible because some of the other databases need the huge data transform when migration, but with TiDB we can use the same data in MySQL without change the application queries and without downtime we can migrate with TiDB using TiDB DM.
