In this talk, we’ll discuss how we built TiDB, an open-source, distributed SQL database. We’ll walk through the design considerations and key technologies. We’ll also uncover how it achieves scalability, consistency, and high availability to redefine what’s possible with distributed SQL databases. Finally, we’ll explore how TiDB's architecture taps into the promises of the cloud to deploy a serverless Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform.
Topics covered include:
- TiDB’s design goals and principles
- The evolution of TiDB’s architecture
- How to address the challenges of data distribution, distributed transactions, and distributed SQL optimization and execution.
- Lessons learned and key best practices
