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

BookMyShow.com More Uptime, 30% Less Operational Cost with TiDB

BookMyShow, India's largest online entertainment ticketing platform, faced significant database challenges with their previous system, Galera. The primary-primary architecture was inefficient for their multi-terabyte data size, requiring a dedicated engineer for constant monitoring and recovery. A severe split-brain incident that took days to resolve prompted them to search for a new solution, leading them to evaluate options including TiDB from PingCAP.

By implementing PingCAP's TiDB, BookMyShow gained a highly available database that automatically partitions and distributes data. This solution resulted in increased uptime and a 30% reduction in operational and maintenance costs, eliminating the need for a full-time engineer dedicated to the database. The migration was supported by PingCAP's responsive team and an active open-source community, ensuring a successful integration.
