SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 22, 2025 – PingCAP, the developer of the distributed SQL database solution TiDB, today announced the availability of its fully-managed service, TiDB Cloud, in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. PingCAP customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.
PingCAP is the creator of TiDB, an open-source distributed SQL database known for its speed, scalability, and reliability. Its loosely coupled design scales out almost infinitely. This gives it the power to manage data stores petabytes in size, enabling both high-performance transactions and real-time queries. With its familiar MySQL interface, TiDB brings hyperscale performance within reach of millions of developers.
Key benefits of TiDB include:
- Scalability: Supports horizontal scalability by handling increased workloads by adding more nodes instead of upgrading software
- Cloud-native and multi-cloud support: Designed with cloud-native principles, TiDB is highly adaptable for multi-cloud deployments and brings flexibility when managing changing workload demands
- Real-time HTAP: Powers real-time analytics on live transactional data without costly, error-prone ETL processes
- Robust MySQL compatibility: Flattens the training curve for new hires and accelerates migration from MySQL.
“TiDB Cloud’s availability on Microsoft Azure Marketplace means any user can quickly launch and configure TiDB clusters directly from their Azure portal and fully harness highly available distributed SQL databases that support transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads (HTAP),” said Max Liu, Co-Founder and CEO at PingCAP. “TiDB Cloud enables them to handle hyperscale workloads while delivering real-time analytics and strong consistency across distributed environments.”
Jake Zborowski, General Manager, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft, said, “We’re pleased to welcome TiDB powered by PingCAP to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, which gives our partners great exposure to cloud customers around the globe. Azure Marketplace offers world-class quality experiences from global trusted partners with solutions tested to work seamlessly with Azure.”
The Azure Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure. The Azure Marketplace helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed solutions that are ready to use.
