MySQL-compatible distributed database from Chinese PingCAP — TiKV storage written in Rust, frontend in Go.

Inspired by Google Spanner: Raft replication, automatic sharding, ACID across the whole cluster. HTAP idea (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical): TiFlash columnar replica for analytics, TiKV row storage for OLTP. Major Chinese users (Pinduoduo, Meituan, Shopee). Pushing hard globally with TiDB Cloud (Serverless).
