Fast Scaling--Elastically and transparently scale to hundreds of nodes for critical workloads without changing business logic. Simple Convergence--Use what you know about SQL – maintain your relational model and global ACID transactions while coping with your hybrid workloads at ease. Real-Time Analytics--Equipped with built-in high performance analytics engine to analyze operational data without using an ETL.

Flipkart, being one of the largest e-commerce companies, serves millions of customers and needs to support millions of requests every second. With such demanding scale comes the additional challenges in maintaining data integrity at scale, with high throughput and low latency.

TiDB Cloud is a fully-managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) that brings everything great about TiDB, an open source Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) database with horizontal scalability, to your cloud. Snowflake is a cloud computing-based data warehousing company that provides cloud-based data storage and analytics service.

By combining these two Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products together, we quickly built an online e-commerce system. This system can process a large amount of data in real time. It also alleviates the scalability bottleneck of traditional MySQL solutions— especially when the amount of business data skyrockets. Besides, this system is easier to operate and maintain.
