Your organization is growing with each passing day; so is your data. More data brings more business opportunities, but it also begets higher storage costs. Do you want a better way to manage the cost? We want the same thing for our open source database, TiDB.
TiDB is a distributed SQL database designed for massive data. Our goal is to support large-scale datasets at a reasonable cost. At TiDB Hackathon 2020, we took a big step in that direction. We introduced a feature, the time to live (TTL) table, that enables TiDB to automatically manage the lifecycle of data according to its lifetime. TiDB makes sure every portion of its resources is consumed by high-value, fresh data.
