TiDB

Open-source distributed SQL database, MySQL compatible, that supports hybrid transactional and analytical workloads.

TiDB is a distributed SQL database that is MySQL compatible and supports hybrid transactional and analytical workloads. It is deployed as a cluster on bare-metal servers with TiUP, on Kubernetes with TiDB Operator, or as a local playground for testing. The quick start covers the playground route.

Worth knowing

A managed service, TiDB Cloud, is offered beside the self-managed database. The vendor’s legal pages also name a subscription edition for self-managed deployments, TiDB Enterprise (Self-Managed).
