TiDB is an open‑source, cloud‑native distributed SQL database with strong ACID guarantees. It supports hybrid transactional/analytical processing, vector search, and seamless horizontal scaling.
Use cases
- store and query relational data for AI agents with low latency
- run HTAP workloads that require both OLTP and OLAP in a single system
- scale a multi‑tenant SaaS platform without downtime
- enable vector search for AI‑native applications
- replace sharded MySQL clusters with a single globally consistent database
When to choose
- you need MySQL compatibility combined with distributed scalability
- your workload mixes transactional and analytical queries
- you require strong consistency across multiple data centers
- you want native support for vector search in the same database
- you prefer a cloud‑native solution that can run on Kubernetes or as a managed DBaaS
When to avoid
- you have very low‑latency, single‑node requirements where a simple MySQL instance suffices
- your team cannot manage the operational complexity of a distributed system
- you need a specialized time‑series or graph database
- you are constrained to environments without Go runtime support
