Sound familiar?
- ▸ TiKV region hotspots — one region is taking 10× the write traffic of the others, PD scatter rules aren't fixing it, and you're hitting raft-store timeouts during peaks.
- ▸ TiFlash replica lag — analytical queries that used to hit columnar replicas are now reading from TiKV (slow), because TiFlash replication is behind and you can't tell which tables are affected.
- ▸ MySQL → TiDB cutover stuck — DM (Data Migration) tool is dropping rows, the binlog filter isn't handling DDL changes, and the dual-write phase keeps producing checksum mismatches.

Migration Destinations
Where do you migrate TiDB to (or from)?
TiDB is most often a destination, not an origin. The six paths below cover both directions — TiDB as the migration target from MySQL/PostgreSQL, and the alternatives we recommend when TiDB isn't the right fit. We pick honestly based on workload.
MySQL → TiDB
Driver: Horizontal scale + HTAP
Most common path TO TiDB. MySQL-compatible wire protocol, distributed SQL, TiFlash columnar replicas on the same engine. Cutover via TiDB DM with binlog replay. We solve the DDL-during-sync and dual-write checksum gotchas.
PostgreSQL → TiDB
Driver: Wire-protocol re-target
Less common — TiDB's MySQL wire protocol means application changes. Best when PG cluster outgrew Citus / sharding and you want a managed distributed SQL with HTAP. We handle the type-mapping and procedural code conversion.
TiDB → CockroachDB
Driver: PostgreSQL wire + active-active
Migrating OFF TiDB toward CockroachDB usually means you wanted PostgreSQL semantics or stronger multi-region active-active. Different consensus protocols (Raft vs Multi-Raft) mean cutover via dual-write or CDC pipeline.
TiDB → YugabyteDB
Driver: PostgreSQL compatibility
Move when your application code is PG-native and the MySQL wire protocol is adding friction. YugabyteDB's YSQL is PG-compatible — we re-model the schema and re-write the cutover playbook.
TiDB → Aurora MySQL
Driver: Drop the distributed-SQL tax
When you no longer need horizontal write scale — Aurora MySQL is simpler to operate and cheaper for sub-10TB workloads. Cutover via mysqldump + binlog replay; we handle the storage-class and IOPS sizing.
TiDB Self-Managed → TiDB Cloud
Driver: Managed offload
Stay on TiDB but offload PD / TiKV / TiFlash operations to PingCAP's managed service. Best fit when in-house TiDB ops capacity is the constraint. We model the TCO and run the dataset migration.
