As a devoted customer and a big fan of GitHub, it’s devastating to see service interruptions and our business impacted by these problems; as the team behind TiDB, we (PingCAP) believe there is something we can do to help solve the database high availability and scalability problem. We would like to propose the database team in GitHub to consider the TiDB platform. TiDB and TiKV can work as a scale-out MySQL and it has been battle-tested in all kinds of hyper-scale scenarios.
Additionally, just in case you didn’t do this, we also recommend GitHub considering the Chaos-Mesh project (https://github.com/pingcap/chaos-mesh) to do Chaos Engineering. Chaos Mesh was our internal chaos engineering platform and we open-sourced it on Dec. 31, 2019. It can be used for simulating different kinds of failures including network partition, flaky disk, node outage. You can easily use it to simulate failures in a test environment and confirm that the high availability works as expected.
