Most teams hear "234 databases" and immediately think: big team, long timeline, massive risk.

Plaid did it with 6 engineers, most without deep database expertise going in.

The secret wasn't headcount. It was how they scoped the project: aligning to business tolerances instead of engineering perfection, frontloading the riskiest Tier 0 services to de-risk everything downstream, and building automation that compounded with every migration.

Zander Hill is walking through the full story on May 21. Worth your hour.

Meet your speaker for May 21.

Zander Hill is Platform Architecture Lead at Plaid and the engineer who led one of the most quietly impressive database migrations in fintech. 234 databases. 100 services. A 6-person team. 2.5 years.

He's spent his career as CTO of a 50-person startup, Senior Director of Engineering, and leader of deeply technical backend organizations. He's bringing the unfiltered playbook to our webinar.

If your team is thinking about migrating off Aurora, you want to hear this one firsthand.

There's a type of architectural debt that doesn't announce itself.

It builds in the gap between how your database was designed and how your application actually runs today, especially once AI workloads enter the picture. Unpredictable query patterns.
Concurrency profiles that don't match the original assumptions. Scale that arrived faster than the infrastructure could adapt.

The engineers solving this aren't waiting for it to become a crisis.

They're the people coming to TiDB SCaiLE Europe 2026.

Thursday, 4 June | Epicenter Stockholm.

Distributed SQL, agentic AI data architecture, and production-grade case studies from teams operating at real scale.

Spots are limited. Agenda dropping soon.

234 databases. 6 engineers. Zero downtime.

We're bringing Plaid's Platform Architecture Lead Zander Hill on for a live webinar on May 21 to break down exactly how Plaid migrated 234 databases across 100 services from Amazon Aurora MySQL to self-hosted TiDB. In 2.5 years, with a small team, and three zero-downtime TiDB upgrades along the way.

If you're evaluating Aurora alternatives or planning a large-scale migration, this is the real-world playbook you won't find in documentation.

Scaling often starts simple and ends messy: sharding workarounds, pipeline sprawl, and rising costs.

Join TiDB + XP2Cloud in-person to hear the Engie blueprint (10TB/day refresh patterns, in-app analytics, usage insights) plus a first look at TiDB X, our AI-native architecture unifying OLTP, analytics, and vector data.

RSVP:

Join TiDB for an in-person meetup where we break down how Engie runs production workloads on TiDB to handle its rapid growth.

We’re almost there. Our TiDB at Bolt meetup is coming up soon at Bolt HQ, and this one is built for people who live and breathe scalability: backend engineers, SREs, data & AI teams, and technical leaders.

What you’ll get in one evening:
-A real look at how Bolt scales on TiDB in production
-A clear intro to TiDB X (AI-native: transactions + analytics + vector data)
-Practical cloud patterns to balance performance, reliability, and cost
-Time to meet other builders and architects from the region

If you think “runaway spend” should not be the tax on growth, you’ll fit right in.

Scaling is easy… until traffic, tenants, and features all grow at the same time.

On 12 March, join Bolt + TiDB at Bolt HQ for an in-person meetup on how Bolt scales real production workloads on TiDB, and what’s coming next with TiDB X (our AI-native database platform).

We’ll cover:
- How Bolt keeps reliability high while growth accelerates
- How TiDB X unifies transactions, analytics, and vector data
- Cloud patterns that avoid “re-sharding nightmares” and runaway spend
- How AI is changing what a “modern database” needs to handle

If you’re a developer, data/AI engineer, SRE, or technical decision-maker in Estonia or across EMEA, this evening is for you.

🚚 Why Ninja Van chose TiDB 🚚

As Ninja Van scaled its logistics platform across Southeast Asia, it needed a database that could keep up with massive growth without sacrificing reliability or performance.

In this video, Mani Kuramboyina, Head of Engineering India details how TiDB helped Ninja Van scale MySQL workloads, simplify operations, and support mission-critical systems at global scale.
