help TiDB Cloud FAQ

What is TiDB Cloud?

TiDB Cloud is a fully managed distributed SQL database service compatible with the MySQL protocol. It is based on TiDB, an open-source database designed to scale SQL workloads across multiple nodes.

How does TiDB Cloud scale a MySQL workload?

TiDB separates compute and storage components and distributes data across a cluster rather than keeping everything on one server. This lets teams scale capacity horizontally while continuing to use SQL and familiar MySQL tools.

Is TiDB Cloud compatible with MySQL applications?

TiDB supports the MySQL wire protocol and many common MySQL features, making migration easier for compatible applications. Teams still need to test SQL behavior, unsupported features, indexes, and transaction workloads before switching production traffic.

Who operates TiDB Cloud?

TiDB Cloud is operated by PingCAP, the company behind TiDB. The service is intended for teams that want distributed SQL without managing the database cluster themselves.
