Overview

TiDB (平凯星辰) is an open-source, MySQL-compatible distributed SQL database with built-in HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) — elastic horizontal scale, strong consistency, and high availability without sharding middleware. TiDB Enterprise adds vCPU-based licensing, hardened tooling, and vendor support, plus native vector search so RAG and AI applications run on the same operational database.

Key capabilities

  • TiDB Distributed SQL
  • HTAP Real-time Analytics (TiFlash)
  • TiDB Enterprise (vCPU licensing, hardened tooling)
  • Oracle / MySQL Migration Tooling
  • AI & Vector Search

Benefits

  • Horizontal scale by adding nodes — no sharding middleware
  • MySQL-compatible — existing apps and tooling move with minimal rewrite
  • Transactions and real-time analytics on one platform, no ETL to a warehouse
  • Multi-replica Raft consensus with automatic failover
  • Native vector search for RAG and AI applications on the operational database
