This is an accelerated introduction course on TiDB targeted for those with a strong MySQL background. In many cases we will explain TiDB concepts by using a direct comparison to MySQL.

This course uses a combination of videos and hands-on exercises. Students may study at their own pace, with an instructor available to reach out to at any point. Completion typically takes 20-30 hours.

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to deploy TiDB in a production environment and perform common DBA tasks, such as backup & recovery, capacity planning and monitoring.

• This course assumes students have 3-5+ years experience using MySQL in a DBA or Architect role.
• Students should be comfortable typing commands in a bash shell and MySQL command line client.
• Previous exposure to Cloud technologies (i.e. Kubernetes) is beneficial but not required.

This course is available free of charge!
