4. Additional Points for TiDB Community Technical Monthly Selection:
The original intention of establishing the TiDB Community Technical Monthly is to allow community members to understand the latest news about TiDB through a fixed window; what new applications and attempts community users have; what new courses TiDB has updated, and the latest developments in recent activities. To allow everyone to get TiDB product/community information in one stop, the product team found Docusaurus, an open-source tool that can quickly convert Markdown documents into online e-books with a good reading experience, making it convenient for everyone to browse and read.
