About TiDB Cloud

TiDB Cloud is a fully managed distributed SQL database service built on the open-source TiDB project. It offers MySQL compatibility with horizontal scalability, which means businesses can run familiar SQL workloads while handling data volumes and traffic spikes that would bring traditional single-node databases to their knees.

The real-world problem TiDB Cloud solves is the scaling wall. Many organisations start with MySQL or PostgreSQL, and things work fine until data grows into the tens of millions of rows or traffic spikes become unpredictable. At that point, you’re looking at sharding (painful), read replicas (complicated), or migrating to a new database entirely (expensive). TiDB Cloud sidesteps this by offering transparent horizontal scaling — you keep writing standard SQL while the platform handles distribution under the hood.

For data-intensive businesses, TiDB Cloud fits naturally into a broader automated data processing architecture. It handles the storage and querying layer while automation tools manage the pipelines feeding data in and pulling insights out. Our AI consulting team works with businesses to design these kinds of scalable data architectures, ensuring your database choice supports both current workloads and future growth.

Whether you’re dealing with high-volume transactional data, real-time analytics, or hybrid workloads that need both, TiDB Cloud is a strong contender. If you’re weighing your database options or planning a migration from an existing system, our custom development team can help you evaluate the trade-offs and implement the right solution for your specific requirements.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement TiDB Cloud

Step 1

Assess Your Database Requirements

Document your current data volumes, query patterns, performance requirements, and growth projections. Understanding your workload profile helps determine whether TiDB Cloud is the right fit.

Step 2

Create a TiDB Cloud Cluster

Sign up for TiDB Cloud and provision a cluster in your preferred cloud region. Start with a development tier to test compatibility and performance before committing to production sizing.

Step 3

Test MySQL Compatibility

Connect your existing application to TiDB Cloud and run your test suite. Identify any SQL syntax or feature differences that need addressing. Most MySQL applications work without changes, but edge cases exist.

Step 4

Migrate Your Data

Use TiDB’s migration tools to move data from your existing MySQL or other database. Plan for a migration window and validate data integrity after the transfer is complete.

Step 5

Optimise Queries and Indexes

Review query performance on TiDB Cloud and adjust indexes or query patterns where needed. Distributed databases have different performance characteristics than single-node databases, so some tuning may be required.

Step 6

Configure Monitoring and Alerts

Set up dashboards and alerting for key metrics like query latency, cluster health, and storage usage. TiDB Cloud provides built-in monitoring, and you can integrate with external observability tools for a unified view.
