Traditional industries are still struggling with the data architecture of sharding. We have used MyCat for many years and encountered many difficult problems. In the process of using TiDB, we gradually found the answers. In this sharing, we will choose a few typical problems to introduce the advanced path from MyCat to TiDB.

@Boomballa, Song Peng, Senior Database Expert at NetEase

Senior Database Expert at NetEase, mainly responsible for MySQL, Redis, and distributed database-related work in the NetEase Media and Lingxi Business Unit. Dedicated to resource optimization, cost control, and relational database architecture. Currently, to solve the pain points of business using distributed databases, introduced NewSQL TiDB and conducted a series of attempts and implementations, while also conducting related tests and feasibility attempts in multi-data center deployment of databases.

Presentation Topic: The Growth Path of TiDB in NetEase Media

Presentation Overview

With the development and growth of the business, the data volume has increased year by year. Initially, the internal self-developed DDB distributed database sharding solution was used to replace MySQL to meet business needs. However, with the increase in the number of clusters, problems such as high complexity of business use, difficulty in expansion, and high operation and maintenance costs gradually emerged. Through research and testing, TiDB was finally selected to carry some new business database services and the transformation and transition of some old businesses from DDB to the new database. With the iteration of new versions of TiDB and the optimization and convenience adjustments made by new features, further attempts will be made in the future in terms of multi-data center deployment of clusters and remote redundancy of databases.

@chnage, Xiao Shangwu, Senior Database Expert at WPS

Presentation Topic: TiDB Application Practice in WPS

Presentation Overview

With the rapid iteration of TiDB and the continuous improvement of stability, the scenarios where WPS uses TiDB are also increasing. In the rapid development of business and linear growth of data volume, the original MySQL database encountered single-machine capacity or performance bottlenecks. TiDB is a very good choice without wanting to shard or use database middleware that constrains the business. In the future, we will continue to focus on how to better use TiDB to empower the business and support the stable operation of massive data.

Presentation Topic: The Evolution Path of TiDB in Zuoyebang

Presentation Overview

In 2020, Zuoyebang entered a stage of explosive business growth. Diverse business needs and rapid data growth brought great challenges to relational storage. Problems such as single-machine storage bottlenecks, resource isolation issues, and performance bottlenecks hindered the rapid growth of the business. The introduction of TiDB not only effectively solved the above problems, but the high compression ratio of TiKV also had certain advantages in cost savings. As the R&D team gradually understood TiDB, the business actively tried to migrate suitable scenarios or land new businesses, greatly improving business efficiency and providing more choices for the business team’s storage selection. The current projects include more than 20 clusters such as the company’s internal unified report platform query service and the R&D unified offline manual query portal. In the future, Zuoyebang will explore the architecture of TiDB’s local three-data center.
