Decision brief

TiDB is a scalable, cloud-native database that supports both transactional and analytical processing with ACID guarantees.

Good fit when

  • When your workload requires high scalability and you need both transactional and analytical operations (HTAP) without performance degradation. TiDB's distributed architecture ensures consistent low延迟的
  • 当你的工作负载需要高扩展性,且需要同时运行事务处理和分析操作(HTAP),并且不希望性能下降时。TiDB 的分布式架构确保了持续的低延迟。

Avoid when

  • If your primary focus is on a traditional relational database with limited transactional and minimal analytics needs, TiDB's complexity and overhead may not be justified.
  • 如果你的主要重点是传统的具有有限事务处理和少量分析需求的关系型数据库,TiDB的复杂性和开销可能是不必要的。
