Scaling Open Source Databases
In this episode of Lessons from Production, I’m joined by Bhanu from TiDB and Nikhil from ElasticRun. We dive into what it really takes to run open source databases at scale, from architecture choices to reliability challenges, performance tuning, and real-world war stories. Whether you're managing distributed systems or just curious about how companies like ElasticRun use TiDB in production, there's a lot to learn from this one.
