Fast, Efficient and Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy and efficient it is, and the fact that it is MySQL-compatible which eliminates the need to learn another query language before I could use it, makes it my first-choice database.
I also love the promptness of their customer services, they're always there to support you if you run into any challenge.
Lastly, TiDB is that database that gives you assurance that your data is safe and always available up to 99.9999% uptime (I have never had any downtime in over 2 years of using it).

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that is does not yet support of GEO spatial data type.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With applications now running on the Edge, finding a database that just works irrespective of where your application is deployed or where your users are is pain point that TiDB solves for me through low latency.
Effortless Scalability with Hybrid Workloads
What do you like best about the product?
TiDB makes it easy to scale horizontally without complex sharding. It supports both transactional and analytical workloads (HTAP) out of the box, and its MySQL compatibility means minimal changes to existing apps. The Kubernetes operator and built-in observability tools make operations smooth and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
TiDB has a learning curve, especially around its distributed architecture and tuning performance for complex queries. TiFlash setup and resource planning can be tricky at scale. Also, some advanced MySQL features aren’t fully supported yet, which can limit compatibility in certain edge cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB solves the challenge of scaling relational databases without giving up SQL or consistency. It allows us to handle high traffic and large datasets by scaling out horizontally, which wasn’t possible with traditional databases. The HTAP architecture also lets us run real-time analytics on live data, reducing the need for separate systems and improving decision-making speed.
A High-Performance Distributed Database Compatible with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
The most upside of TiDB in my point of view is it's compatibility with MySQL , most of the MySQL syntax supported in it. So it is easy to integrate it with the existing applications and tools and easy to handle by the DBAs.
It is easy to migrate the MySQL data to the TiDB database through the migration tool TiDB DM. This makes it very feasible to implement TiDB alongside existing MySQL infrastructure with minimal disruption.
TiDB's DM feature and TiCDC are widely used features and it is frequently used where real-time analytics is needed on live transactional data.
As we know TiDB providing customer support through the active community on github and slack also provides the great documentation to understand the concepts and usage of tools to make it easy for the users.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main cons in TiDB is it's cost. In many cases, customers are cost-sensitive, and TiDB's distributed architecture while powerful may appear less appealing compared to more lightweight, single-node database solutions.
Connecting with the existing system is easy with TiDB but still the TiKV needs optimization in some situations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TiDB is used to solve the slowness in the real time analytical query executions and also in the high availability like it can withstand in fail overs. We expected the solution like the database which can be the MySQL compatible because some of the other databases need the huge data transform when migration, but with TiDB we can use the same data in MySQL without change the application queries and without downtime we can migrate with TiDB using TiDB DM.

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

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.
