TiDB Cloud Data API
TiDB Cloud Data API for executing SQL queries against TiDB Cloud clusters via HTTP, enabling MySQL-compatible distributed database access with built-in HTAP capabilities.
Best When
You need to scale a MySQL-compatible application horizontally without changing SQL code, especially with mixed transactional and analytical workloads.
Avoid When
You're building a simple application that doesn't need distribution, or need PostgreSQL compatibility.
Use Cases
- • Running MySQL-compatible SQL via HTTP from serverless functions
- • Distributed transactional workloads requiring horizontal scalability
- • HTAP workloads mixing OLTP and real-time analytics
- • Migrating MySQL applications to a scalable distributed database
- • Multi-region data storage with strong consistency
Not For
- • Pure OLAP/analytics-only workloads (ClickHouse is better)
- • Teams not comfortable with distributed database complexity
- • Very simple single-server workloads
- • Non-MySQL SQL dialects
