Reliable mobile platform has delivered accurate retirement data and reduces incident rates
The best feature Kubernetes Everywhere offers is the reliability feature, which mostly impresses me. What makes the reliability stand out for me is uptime and error handling; also, as I mentioned previously, it's providing reliable data, which is very important for us in TIAA because it is the retirement data that we serve, and we do not want to provide anything incorrect to our participants. As this is a 100-year-old company, we want to make sure our participants are given the accurate information, reliable information that they deserve. Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively by being reliable as well as providing accurate data, maintaining the uptime, which is very important, and making sure we deliver the accurate data that is required by our participants. I have seen specific outcomes, with incidents having definitely reduced drastically from what it was a few years back; so certainly, I can see there is more than 25 to 50% reduction in the incidents since adopting Kubernetes Everywhere.

Hybrid workloads have powered real-time analytics and simplified scaling for critical services
TiDB Cloud offers horizontal scalability. You can scale TiDB Cloud simply by adding more nodes with no manual sharding. That is a significant advantage over traditional MySQL setups. It also supports MySQL compatibility, as it supports the MySQL protocol and syntax. It has hybrid transactional and analytical processing for real-time analytics on data, so no separate data warehouse is needed. It supports ACID transactions and high availability. Another feature of TiDB Cloud is the cloud-native design. It works smoothly with modern infrastructures such as elastic scaling, container-ready orchestration, and microservice architecture. It separates the SQL layer from the storage layer for independent scaling and a flexible architecture. It is an enterprise-grade design. TiDB Cloud has positively impacted my organization, especially where massive scale and real-time analytics were needed. It powers core cloud services. We have used HTAP workloads, what we call STAP workloads, or the cloud-managed service. My job was to handle the cloud network for financial data.

Pros

"I have seen specific outcomes, with incidents having definitely reduced drastically from what it was a few years back; so certainly, I can see there is more than 25 to 50% reduction in the incidents since adopting Kubernetes Everywhere."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively because performance-wise, we don't have any downtimes, whereas earlier we used to have downtime."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is easy to operate when you have a settled environment and easy to manage, offering high availability and fault tolerance with all high availability features, rich support of the latest technologies, vulnerability management, and easy management."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing lower costs, flexibility, and scalability."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is a premier operational asset for modern multi-cloud architecture, delivering standard, predictable workload orchestration across any underlying hardware engine with minimal setup complexity."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization because we do not require any tech background to make our web app work."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization because the infrastructure, the deployment, and the management are very organized, and I do not have to worry about loads, server memory, or anything."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing downtime; we have achieved almost zero minutes of downtime since implementing Kubernetes Everywhere in our organization after transitioning from manual deployments."
"TiDB Cloud has a broader scope that offers multiple services. It can be compared to major cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP."
"There are cost savings because of TiDB Cloud; we save a lot of money on hardware, we need fewer employees for maintenance, and we have less downtime which helps our business be much more successful."
"If cost is not a concern, I believe TiDB Cloud is the best option among traditional databases due to its distributed architecture which supports high availability and auto-scaling."
"TiDB Cloud's scalability is the best in the business."
"According to my experience, TiDB Cloud is very easy to use because we don't need to maintain much in TiDB, all the activities are mostly automated there, and we can easily monitor the performance."
"I have experienced full 100% stability with TiDB Cloud."
"TiDB Cloud stands out because it combines traditional SQL reliability with modern distributed scaling."
"TiDB selections are fast, and it handles collections and solutions well. Vertical and horizontal scaling are also good features."
 

Cons

"The ingress issue is the main concern for me because I continue to face ingress-related issues most of the time."
"Deploying Kubernetes Everywhere infrastructure is somewhat difficult because there are many components that need to be deployed."
"At this time, I may not have any improvement suggestions; I want to explore more, so the features currently provided satisfy me, but if there is anything Kubernetes Everywhere can share with modernization, that would be great."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, running a Kubernetes cluster can be costly depending on the use case; however, running on GCP GKE is cheaper compared to AWS, making it relatively economical in our case."
"Customer support for Kubernetes Everywhere could be better."
"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved by providing an easier way for users to handle commands and developing a UI-based approach to make it easier for developers and semi-technical users, as well as focusing on improving containerization."
"I can think of an improvement for Kubernetes Everywhere in that it should be easier to use from a developer's perspective, as it involves a lot of infrastructure numbers and DevOps."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is pretty good, but it can be improved in terms of reliability and speed because currently, it takes around two to three minutes to deploy my entire app, possibly due to the weight of the codes I have or some outages from the platform side."
"TiDB Cloud can be improved, particularly because the interface is very old."
"There should be the ability to replicate auto-increment sequences from the production environment to the disaster recovery environment."
"If you do not have an option to have a replication from MySQL to TiDB, you can go ahead and simply use TiDB Cloud because it is far more efficient than maintaining TiDB on-premises, but if you have a DM kind of solution, which is not yet there in TiDB Cloud, you might have to stick around with native TiDB."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the customer support for TiDB Cloud at about a six."
"If you are using a product managed by a cloud provider, such as AWS or Google Cloud, you benefit from various management tools."
"I think TiDB Cloud could be improved from a marketing perspective, as it competes with PostgreSQL in the space, where many people know or use PostgreSQL."
"While TiDB Cloud is good for high availability, I think there are some bugs when using the TiFlash feature, sometimes in the TiKV component as well."
"From my point of view, TiDB Cloud requires more nodes to run the environment because for a self-hosted environment it needs to deploy three PD, three TiKV, and two TiFlash minimum. I think this is more costly than our traditional databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL."
