FinTech innovation is often stalled by the constraints of legacy monolithic databases that cannot handle massive transaction growth, require complex sharding, and introduce crippling downtime.

This session addresses how modern financial service platforms can achieve true, seamless scalability without sacrificing transactional integrity.

We will introduce Distributed SQL and the architecture of TiDB, demonstrating how it unifies the data stack to support Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP)—allowing real-time risk modelling, personalisation, and fraud detection directly on live operational data, thus eliminating ETL delays.

Through real-world case studies from industry leaders like Square and Plaid, attendees will learn how to achieve continuous 99.99% availability, execute zero-downtime upgrades and scaling, and significantly reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by consolidating multi-tenant applications efficiently using built-in resource control mechanisms.

Discover the resilient data foundation required to power the next generation of financial platforms.
