Overview
TiDB speaks the MySQL protocol, so existing MySQL applications and tools can connect to it with minimal changes, while the database itself is horizontally scalable and distributed under the hood - solving MySQL's traditional scaling limits without giving up SQL and relational features. It supports both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) queries in one system.
TiDB is a fit for teams that have outgrown a single MySQL instance and want horizontal scalability without switching to a NoSQL data model or rewriting their application's SQL layer.
