What are the advantages of TiDB compared to PostgreSQL among domestic databases?

| username: OnTheRoad | Original post link

The advantages of TiDB include horizontal scaling or shrinking, financial-grade high availability, real-time HTAP, cloud-native distributed database, compatibility with MySQL 5.7 protocol and MySQL ecosystem, among other important features. More importantly, the ASKTUG community is active, and issues encountered in production are generally answered by enthusiastic users. Native PG does not have these characteristics.
