Truly distributed MySQL supported database

  • By Raj S.
  • on 03/06/2025

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
