TiDB, powered by PingCAP | 25,599 followers on LinkedIn. The most advanced open-source distributed SQL database for modern, high-demand applications. | Founded in 2015, TiDB was born from the vision of three talented software engineers who set out to build a database system that would be more scalable and reliable than MySQL, while retaining its rich ecosystem of tools and frameworks. They also wanted a true open-source solution, ensuring flexibility and compatibility. What they didn’t know then was how TiDB would grow to become one of the world’s most popular distributed SQL databases.
