SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 10 , 2024 —  PingCAP, the developer of the distributed SQL database solution TiDB, has been named as an Honorable Mention in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems (DBMS). 

TiDB is an open source, distributed SQL database that combines the strong ACID consistency of a SQL RDBMS alongside the horizontal scalability of NoSQL, all without the headaches of manual sharding or data inconsistencies. It enables leading enterprises, SaaS, and digital native companies to build petabyte-grade clusters while managing millions of tables, concurrent connections, frequent schema changes, and zero-downtime scaling. With AI-driven innovations and multi-cloud flexibility, TiDB offers unmatched agility, resilience, and security so large organizations can focus on future growth instead of complex data infrastructure management.

Gartner notes the growing popularity of distributed SQL solutions: “Aside from their ability to handle large groups of users and high throughput applications, they simplify high availability, disaster recovery and the ability to dynamically move workloads.”

TiDB can deliver resilient performance, real-time insights, and scalable data infrastructure across a variety of deployment scenarios, with organizations free to choose the product that best meets their business goals:  

  • TiDB Cloud Serverless: A fully-managed, auto-scaling cloud service designed for dynamic workloads.
  • TiDB Cloud Dedicated: An enterprise-ready fully-managed cloud DBaaS for predictable performance and dedicated resources.
  • TiDB Self-Managed: An ideal option when you need to deploy and manage TiDB on your own infrastructure with complete flexibility.

“TiDB sits right in the sweet spot for most database applications,” said Max Liu, CEO of PingCAP. “No other solution can match its combination of flexibility, reliability and performance. It’s equally at home running real-time ad platforms, mission-critical back-end operations and cutting-edge generative AI solutions. The best thing is you don’t have to choose. Transactions, analytics, vector search  — TiDB does it all on one powerful, cost-effective platform that’s easy to manage.”

PingCAP was also peer-recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Cloud Database Management Systems. TiDB received an average of 4.9 (out of 5) stars from 122 reviews as of December 2024. Additionally, PingCAP was named an Asia/Pacific Customers’ Choice and a Strong Performer in the Midsize Enterprise segment, meeting or exceeding the market average for overall experience and user adoption.
