TiDB 1.0-PINGCAP latest launch!

PingCAP launches TiDB 1.0, a scalable hybrid database solution

On October 16, 2017, PingCAP Inc., a cutting-edge distributed database technology company, officially announced the release of TiDB 1.0. TiDB is an open source distributed hybrid transaction/analytical processing (HTAP) database that enables enterprises to use a single database to satisfy both workloads.

In the current database environment, infrastructure engineers often use one database for online transaction processing (OLTP) and another for online analytical processing (OLAP). TiDB aims to break this separation by building an HTAP database for real-time business analytics based on real-time transactional data. With TiDB, engineers can now spend less time managing multiple database solutions and more time delivering business value to their companies. A financial securities company user of TiDB is leveraging the technology to support applications for wealth management and user roles. With TiDB, the company can easily process web-scale billing records and conduct mission-critical time-sensitive data analysis.

PingCAP co-founder and CEO Max Liu said:

“Two and a half years ago, Edward, Dylan and I embarked on this journey to build a new database for an old problem that has long plagued the infrastructure software industry. Today, we are proud to announce that this database, TiDB, is ready for production environments. .Abraham Lincoln once said, 'The best way to predict the future is to create it.' The future we predicted 771 days ago has now been created, not only by every member of our team, but also by our open source community. The hard work and dedication of every contributor, user, and partner. Today, we celebrate and thank the power of the open source spirit. Tomorrow, we will continue to create the future we believe in."

TiDB has been put into production environments in more than 30 companies in the Asia-Pacific region, including fast-growing Internet companies such as Mobike, Gaea and YOUZU. Use cases span industries from online marketplaces and gaming to fintech, media and travel.
