Try using HAProxy.

The TiDB server is stateless, so load balancers like LVS and F5 can be used.

The TiDB server itself does not have high availability features. Generally, F5 and HAProxy are used for load balancing. The application connects to the IP of F5 or HAProxy, and then forwards the request to the backend TiDB. If one of the backend TiDBs goes down, F5 or HAProxy will not forward requests to the downed TiDB.
