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
TIDB Single DATA WAREHOUSE FOR ALL TYPE OF WORKLOADS
What do you like best about the product?
ability to scale for any kind of workloads , OLAP , OLTP
What do you dislike about the product?
The community is not that helpful , slack messages goes unreplied
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it handles high qps for OLAP queries using tiflash

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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scaling is easy, provides high QPS, and is also highly available
It would have been great if it had enhanced capabilities in TiCDC.
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about TiDB is how seamlessly it combines horizontal scalability with the simplicity of SQL. Its compatibility with MySQL made the transition effortless, and the HTAP architecture is a major advantage for managing both transactional and analytical workloads in a unified system. Additionally, the support has been outstanding—responsive, knowledgeable, and truly helpful when it counts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I genuinely like TiDB overall, my experience with TiCDC in production has been quite tough. Achieving stability and reliably managing edge cases has required more effort than I anticipated. The surrounding tooling for data replication and observability still feels immature and underdeveloped. That said, the progress and direction of TiCDC give me confidence that things will get better over time. However, as it stands today, TiCDC is far from developer- and deployment-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We first looked into TiDB as a potential solution to unify our transactional and analytical workloads, which are currently divided between MongoDB and Snowflake. Managing data synchronization between the two has been a persistent challenge, and TiDB’s HTAP capabilities seemed like a compelling answer. The prospect of using a single system with strong consistency and horizontal scalability for both types of workloads was highly attractive. However, the absence of support for private hosting turned out to be a dealbreaker for us—a letdown, especially considering how well the architecture aligned with our requirements.
TiDB is a powerful distributed SQL database
What do you like best about the product?
Features are seamless horizontal scalability with MySQL compatibility, making it easy to scale
What do you dislike about the product?
TIdb Learning curve would be more simplier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves scalability and real-time analytics challenges
Excellent Technology
What do you like best about the product?
Bring a great scalability, both horizontal and vertical, this HTAP database helps me handle high workloads of OLTP and OLAP tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It will be better if TiDB confirms compatibility in Ubuntu Server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB can store online finance transactions (OLTP) and create reports (OLAP) for me
DISTRIBUTED , FAULT TOLERANT , SCALABLE ,
What do you like best about the product?
ease of scalability , realtime backups , and well detailed dashboard which helps to figure out the slow queries and optimize it , TIFlash is really handy for OLAP kind of workloads
What do you dislike about the product?
restoring the tidb backups always needs fresh clusters, that is a big pain sometimes. docs are not well documented
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
using tidb now we are able to scale our data warehouse
Great but costly
What do you like best about the product?
tidb has both analytical and transactional nodes. so it will be helpful analytical kind of queries. we can scale compute and data nodes individually based on usage
What do you dislike about the product?
tidb is bit costly compared to other sql db. if we are going to run a very basic app, its going to cost you more, because we need 3 compute nodes by default and its costly. Most of the features and dashboards are available only for self hosting not for cloud hosting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB is solving both our transactional and analytical needs. It has allowed us to replace Snowflake for one of our offerings, simplifying our architecture and reducing our reliance on more expensive solutions. This has made our operations more efficient and cost-effective.
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
