What is TiDB?
TiDB (The pronunciation is: /'taɪdiːbi:/ tai-D-B, etymology: titanium) is an open-source distributed scalable Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) database. It features infinite horizontal scalability, strong consistency, and high availability. TiDB is MySQL compatible and serves as a one-stop data warehouse for both OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) workloads.
-
Horizontal scalability
TiDB provides horizontal scalability simply by adding new nodes. Never worry about infrastructure capacity ever again.

Distributed transaction
TiDB is your source of truth, guaranteeing ACID compliance, so your data is accurate and reliable anytime, anywhere.
