TiDB, powered by PingCAP

Founded 2015

Store, query, and scale transactional records, vector embeddings, and real-time analytics across distributed clusters

Pricing model

Free Tier, Paid

You can use TiDB to run distributed relational databases that combine transactional workloads, real-time analytics, and vector search in a single system. It gives your applications full ACID consistency while scaling compute and storage independently without manual sharding. You can execute vector similarity queries alongside regular SQL transactions, provision multi-tenant environments in seconds, and create isolated database branches for development or testing. TiDB automatically handles fluctuating traffic by autoscaling resources up or down to zero when idle, all while maintaining compatibility with standard MySQL and development frameworks.

What TiDB, powered by PingCAP does

Query vector embeddings alongside transactional SQL tables in one commandAutoscale database compute capacity based on incoming request unit volumeCreate isolated database branches for development sandboxesSet throughput quotas per tenant to prevent noisy neighbor slowdownsPerform online schema changes without taking database tables offlineConnect autonomous agents to database clusters using Model Context Protocol serversReplicate transactional records to analytical storage automatically without ETL pipelinesExecutes vector similarity search and transactional SQL within a single queryScales compute and storage tiers independently without manual data shardingAutoscales compute capacity dynamically and scales to zero during idle periodsOffers instant database branching for isolated development and staging environmentsProvides strict distributed ACID consistency across multi-node clustersIsolates tenant workloads with custom throughput quotas to eliminate resource contentionMaintains native wire compatibility with MySQL tools and frameworks
