TiDB with Grafana & Prometheus: Real-Time Data & Analytics

This virtual machine is pre-configured with TiDB, a distributed SQL database designed for Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP). TiDB combines the reliability of traditional relational databases with the flexibility to scale both horizontally as well as vertically, allowing your system to grow effortlessly as data increases. It’s perfect for modern applications that require both transactional processing and real-time analytics.

Key TiDB Features:

  • MySQL Compatibility: Easily migrate from MySQL with minimal changes, as TiDB supports MySQL syntax and protocols.

  • Distributed Architecture: Ensures high availability and fault tolerance by automatically replicating data across multiple nodes.

  • HTAP Capabilities: Handle both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads in a single system, eliminating the need for separate databases.

  • ACID Compliance: Guarantees strong consistency for all transactions across distributed systems.

  • Horizontal Scalability: Add more servers to your system without downtime, ensuring smooth growth as your data needs expand.

  • Vertical Scalability: You can vertically scale by upgrading server hardware, adding more CPU cores, or increasing RAM to existing VM.

  • Real-Time Analytics: Perform complex queries on live data, enabling immediate insights and data-driven decisions.

Use Cases:

  • E-Commerce and Finance: Manage large volumes of customer transactions while simultaneously running analytics to enhance decision-making.

  • IoT and Real-Time Data: Efficiently process data streams from IoT devices, while performing real-time analysis.

  • Gaming and Media: Support millions of users and analyze data on user behavior without performance bottlenecks.

Advanced Monitoring with Grafana and Prometheus:

This virtual machine also includes Grafana and Prometheus, open-source tools for visualizing and monitoring your TiDB environment. Grafana provides detailed dashboards to track key metrics, while Prometheus collects real-time performance data, allowing you to monitor the health and efficiency of your TiDB setup. Together, they offer end-to-end visibility, helping you quickly identify and address potential issues to ensure high availability and performance.
