How does a real-time data serving layer help? Enterprises rely on real-time insights to drive critical business decisions. However, the challenges of managing siloed data, scaling workloads, and ensuring high availability make this difficult! A real-time data serving layer integrates and organizes data from diverse sources like CRM, ERP, Marketing, and Ticketing systems, enabling: ✅ Scalability for massive data volumes and growing workloads. ✅ High availability with minimal downtime and robust failover. ✅ Low latency reads and writes – up to 1M reads/sec and 100K writes/sec. ✅ Faster development cycles by simplifying architecture and enhancing agility. Leading companies are solving these data challenges with distributed SQL solutions like TiDB, powered by PingCAP, improving query performance by 60x and reducing costs.
