Case Study: BookMyShow achieves 30% lower operational costs and higher uptime with TiDB from PingCAP

BookMyShow reduces operational cost by 30% with PingCAP

BookMyShow, India's largest online entertainment ticketing platform, faced significant challenges with its database infrastructure. Their previous solution, Galera, suffered from inefficient scaling and a severe split-brain incident that required days of recovery. This demanded a full-time engineer for monitoring and operations, creating a high operational cost for their small team. They sought a new database solution to improve consistency, uptime, and manageability.

By implementing PingCAP's TiDB, BookMyShow streamlined its data pipeline. The solution provided automatic data partitioning and replication, leading to increased uptime and availability. The operational and maintenance costs were reduced by 30%, and the need for a dedicated database engineer was eliminated. PingCAP's TiDB provided a highly scalable and reliable foundation for handling their multi-terabyte transactional data workload.
