Description
Ed Huang and Max Liu’s project Codis, a proxy-based high-performance Redis cluster solution, went viral in China five years ago. A year later, when they went to build TiDB and then TiKV, they used those learnings to their advantage—with the goal of building database solutions for and by developers all over the world. In this talk, Ed discusses the challenges they faced when building a global product, and their solutions, like using a bilingual content strategy and prioritizing global community governance and management.

Yeah,
okay,
a
first
part
about
me
ad
and
I-
am
the
CEO
and
the
co-founder
of
pink
cap
pink
cap
is
an
open
source
database
company
we
are,
we
are.
We
are
building
the
open
source
database,
corekai
DB,
and
you
may
notice
that
my
title
is
CTO.
So
basically
I
usually
talk
about
technology
and
an
attack
mostly,
but
today
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
community
community
and
open
source
and
I'm
working
in
disability
assistance
for
many
years,
and
unlike
most
of
the
engineers
I
start
started
program
programming
when
I
was
about
10
or
11.
A
A
A
Okay,
the
first
part
is
introduce
the
the
project
and
the
company.
My
marketing
team
asked
me
to
do
that
about
Oba
ping
cab.
My
company
is,
we
are
we
are.
We
started
this
this
company
like
four
years
ago,
I
think
almost
five
year
and
we
are,
we
are
building
just
like
I
said
we
are
building
the
open-source
database
and
right
now
we
have
more
than
200
employees
over
the
world.
The
headquarter
is
in
Beijing
and
part
of
our
project.
A
We
donated
to
the
storage
part
we
donated
to
to
CN
CF
the
the
cloud
native
computing
foundation
and
right
now
it
is
incubating
level
project,
and
last
year
we
we
got
of
50
million
u.s.
dollar
round,
see
so
okay
and
I
think
I
just
mentioned,
or
we
open-source
company
and
according
to
the
statistics,
by
CN
CF
and
we
are,
we
are
the
the
top
top
can
open
source
contributor
to
CN,
CF
project
and
I'm.
Very
proud,
proud
of
it
and
pink
app
is
the
only
startup
in
this.
This
top
ten
vendors
yeah.
A
A
Language
I
think
you
can
can't
be
the
great
alternative
to
simple
applause,
so
pink
health
player
I
say
pick
up
this
company
a
player
is
playing
a
important
role
in
rust,
open-source
community,
because
we
are
maintaining
a
lot
of
open-source
package
for
building
this
beauty
system,
while
rust,
like
gr,
PC
and
raft
and
rocks
TB
and
permissions.
Something
like
that
and
also
we
are
how
we
go
users
and
we
open
source
all
these
components
and
software
in
github.
A
A
A
Basically,
we,
the
entire
base,
fix
my
scalp
by
a
portico,
so
you
can
just
consider
tidy,
be
as
super
huge
mysql.
If
you
need
unlimited
scalability
and
you
still
want
to
use
the
database
via
MySQL
query
interface,
you
can
you
can
check
out
our
DB
and
yeah.
It
is
a
distributed,
my
secure
compatible
with
database.
We
build
it
from
ground
up
for
now.
A
A
The
the
first
thing
important
thing
is
in
Chinese
open
source
community.
We
use
totally
different
communication
tools
and
we
we
don't
use
slack
and
we
use
WeChat
and
QQ
everywhere,
and
it
is
not
good
and
the
good
content
is
even
cannot
collect
it
by
search
engine,
but
people
people
use
it.
So
we
we
have
to
live
with
that,
and
also
we
chat
is
more
than
just
I
am
message
app
messaging
app?
A
We,
you
know
we
shall
have
a
feature
called
public
account,
so
the
company
or
anyone
else
can
post
a
blog
post
while
we
chat-
and
it
is
becoming
the
you
know-
the
major
marketing
channel
for
most
of
the
the
company
being
in
China,
which
has
public
account.
So
basically
we
we
consider
our,
which
had,
as
our
official
website
official
blog.
A
A
A
The
most
important
thing
to
to
me
is:
is
content
marketing
and
it
really
works,
and
but
just
like
I
said
we
are,
we
are
using
totally
different,
totally
different
channels
to
to
post
your
your
blog
post
or
to
do
the
marketing
and
yeah.
This
is
some.
This
is
some
channels,
I
think
the
the
first,
the
the
the
most
important
channel
is
which
have
public
I
just
mentioned.
Another
is
true,
come
true
who
is
like
the
core
in
China
and
it
is
kind
of
lie,
another
kind
of
social
network.
A
So
we,
basically
our
marketing
team,
maintained
two
major
plat
platform
in
it.
One
is
WeChat,
another
is
true,
and
the
in
the
in
the
third
place
is
using
some
social
network
platform
like
Weibo
calm.
It
is
like
the
the
Twitter
of
of
China
and
yeah,
and
some
you
know
individual
bloggers
and
another
interesting
funny
thing
is
that
few
people
read
hacker
news.
A
Basically,
no
one
reads:
hack
news:
I
know
that
if
you
want
you
around
the
open-source
project
in
the
United
States,
maybe
you,
if
you
want
to
launch
a
new
project,
the
hacker
news
is
the
the
best
channel
you
you
want
to.
You
know,
really
announce
your
your
news,
but
now
in
China
and
the
folks
are
really
like
reading
techno,
stuff
and
blog
posts
through
which
hat
so
yeah
yeah
and,
of
course
using
Chinese
content
is
more
Chinese.
A
Content
is
more
popular,
yeah
is
obviously,
and
also
we
we
did
a
lot
of
the
the
the
conference
like
cucum
is
very
popular
in
China
kind
of
like
the
biggest
conference
you
if
you
want
to
attend,
kill
Kong
is
the
biggest
one.
Another
is
is,
is
awesome,
it
is
another
famous
technical
conference
biggest
10
year
conferencing
in
China.
The
third
is
I.
Think
from
my
own
practice
is,
is
cube.
Comp
yeah,
cube
con
Shanghai
is
very
huge
conference
yeah
and
also
like
many
open-source
projects.
We
do
meetups
and.
A
In
China,
the
the
most
popular
meetups
is
always
held
by
the
the
project:
open-source
project
itself,
like
ping
cap,
our
company,
we
are
hosting
the
the
meet-up
core
infrastructure
Meetup
and
in
past
three
years
we
have
already
have
more
than
100
meetups
and
inning
in
Beijing,
Shanghai
or
other
and
other
cities
in
China,
and
it
is
really
very
useful
and
on
the
other
hand,
another
great
meetups
is
held
by
some
probing
programming
language
community
like
Cola
and
rust,
but
actually
we
don't
have
some
JavaScript
meetups
or
Java.
We
have
things
like
this
and
oh
there's.
A
The
Tiff's
and
people
never
use
method
opcom
in
China,
so
you
have
to
find
some.
You
know
local
website
like
hold
on
machine
calms
things
like
this
yeah,
and
the
funny
thing
is
that
this
is
our
our
our
slack.
You
can
see.
We
are
using
I
have
TDD
to
up
to
to
show
all
the
the
keywords
mentioned.
If
anyone
tweeted
about
ID
be
orphan
caps,
we
have
a
pot
to
you
know
showing
our
public
channel,
so
we
can
reply
or
something
yeah
and.
A
At
the
replay
playing
with
the
the
the
foundations
like
Apache
foundation,
but
things
are
going
going
better
in
recent
years,
like
some
biggest
big
companies
like
Huawei
and
Alibaba,
are
donating
their
their
project
to
to
the
tooth
foundations
like
a
SF
and
the
CN
CF,
as
you
can
see,
but
like
I
said
most
of
active,
open
source
country
contributors
are
from
big
big
companies
in
China
we
don't
have
many
individual
contributors
and
always
I.
Think
from
my
personal
observation.
Chinese
company
in
these
foundations
are
more
like
the
sponsors,
not
the
code
contributors
but
I.
A
Think
things
are
getting
better
like
you
can.
You
can
see
Alibaba
play
important
role
in
in
CN
CF,
so
I
think
things
are
getting
better
now
and
on
the
other
hand,
Chinese
companies.
I
said
why
I
said
is
like
the
end.
Users
and
the
Chinese
companies
and
users
are
more
like
the
open
source
adapters
rather
than
the
contributors.
A
Because
the
you
know,
the
business
of
this
companies
are
growing
really
fast
and
the
the
users
and
the
company
is
very
practical
and
but
since
I
think
we
are
where
we
are,
we
are
doing
well
and
I
can
see.
The
things
are
changing
because
when
I
running
the
TV
community,
I
am
noticed
more
and
more
and
users
become
the
active
contributors
to
to
the
to
the
to
the
open-source
software
that
they
are
using
and
I.
A
Think
a
lot
of
popular
open-source
projects
in
China
may
be
completely
unknown
to
their
to
the
US
community.
Like
I
have
example
like
CODIS
I'm,
the
I'm,
the
author
of
of
CODIS
CODIS
is
disputed.
Read
this
proxy,
so
you
can
use
code
is
to
create
a
disputed
radius.
Cluster
and
I
created
this
project
before
official
read
is
supported
distributing
mode.
So
it
is
a
cooler
feature
and
I
think
it
is
so
popular
in
in
in
China,
and
let
me
see
we
got
a
lot
of
kidnap
stars
of
this
project
and.
A
A
Speaking
of
the
commercialization
of
open
source
software,
the
business
side,
unlike
unlike
the
US
and
we
are
we
making
money
by
the
the
business
model,
is
still
the
the
premier.
Is
there
the
mainstream,
but
you
know
SAS
business
is
now
very
successful
in
China
in
recent
years.
Unlike
us,
you
know,
but
because
in
China
the
the
the
engineer
cost
is
not
as
high
as
in
the
US,
so
people
are
tend
to
maintain
their
own
software
stack
and
on
datacenter.
A
And,
according
to
my
observation,
the
things
are
coming
well
and,
on
the
other
hand,
I
think
another
important
reason
why
Chinese
market
matters
is,
if
you
are
early-stage,
open
source
project,
if
you
want
to
get
more
users,
get
more
adoptions
to
polish.
Your
your
project
and
the
Chinese
market,
a
China
China,
is
a
excellent
market
for
for
a
new
open
source
project,
because
this
is.
A
It
is
not
a
news
that
if
you
are
a
US
company,
if
you
want
to
try
something
new,
you
have
to
put
a
lot
of
effort
in
researching
or
the
or
the
other
projects
in
the
same
area.
So
you
maybe
you
can
do
the
you.
You
have
to
do
the
research
for
for
half
an
year
just
to
pick
up
the
to
pick
up
one,
but
most
of
the
the
Chinese
uses
I
just
want
to
solve
their
their
problem
as
quick
as
possible.
A
So
if
your
purchase
really
can
solve
the
problem
and
people
they
just
use
and
so
I
think
for
for
the
open
source
project,
Chinese
market
have
more
potential
users
and
shorter
adoption
cycle
and
on
the
other
hand,
of
course,
for
you
for
for
us.
If
you
know
we
are,
we
are
building
a
database.
It
is
a
very
hard
core
project
so
that
that
means
we
have
few
fewer
competitors
in
China.
A
A
A
A
Some
of
these
may
contain
some
confidential
information,
so
we
we
have
to
maintain.
We
maintain
the
internal
JIRA
to
check
the
issue
and
box,
but
what,
if
the
and
also
we
still
have
a
lot
of
community
uses
and
community
users
may
use
github
issues
to
post
the
bug
report
or
something
so
we
write
the
boot
robot
now
to
synchronize
the
keeper
issue
to
our
internal
JIRA
platform.
A
A
We
running
in
our
data
center
is
composed
by
hundreds
of
physical
knows.
It
is
a
disability,
assistance,
running
disability,
test
and
yeah,
but
what
if
the
contributor
contributed
a
new
feature,
but
they
they
want
to
run,
they
want
to
see
the
the
tested
result.
So
we
also
build
a
boat
for
for
this
and
yeah
I
notice
that
this
this
morning
could
have
announced
the
github
actions.
So
maybe
we
can
use
that
feature
in
the
future,
but
for
now
we
we
are
using
a
boot.
A
From
the
the
content
strategy
in
stipend
cab,
we
have
ten
people
team
focusing
on
internationalization,
because
people
are
using
Chinese
in
China,
of
course,
but
we
still
want
our
contain
because
you
know
a
lot
of
users
not
is
non
Chinese,
so
we
have
to
provide
English
content
for
the
community.
So
we
we
have
a
internationalization
team.
Most
of
them
are
technical
writers
to
translate
Chinese
documentation
and
blog
post
to
to
English,
and
this
team
also
maintained
the
order
marketing
channels
like
hacker
news
and
treat
her
things
like
this
yeah
and,
of
course
we,
the
law.
A
If
you
you
are
a
project,
you
want
your
open-source
project,
you
want
to
go
into
China.
The
localization
is
also
important,
so
my
suggestion
is
not
sing
holy
rewrites,
the
content
from
English
to
Chinese
or
from
Chinese
to
English
is
I.
I
suggest
you
know
you.
You
have
to
write
in
the
native
way,
yeah.
A
A
Recently
we
launched
in
project
we
called
Thailand
plan
because
you
know
we
are.
We
are
using
last
programming
language.
It
is
a
very
young
programming
language,
so
we
found
that
the
big
biggest
blocker
is
that
we
don't
have
enough
rust
programmer
in
China
or
all
over
the
world.
So,
if
want
to
grow
grow,
if
you
want
to
grow,
the
community
want
to
get
more
contributor.
A
The
first
thing
we
need
to
do
is
to
you
know,
to
write
some
rust
cause
and
the
rust
content
to
help
people
understand
rust
and
help
them
to
you
know
to
Maiden
more
predict
practical
rust
programmer.
So
we
write
tutorial
help.
The
engineers
to
you
know,
use
rust
to
create
writing,
distribute
assistance
yeah
this
this
life
practical
network
application
in
rust.
We
create
a
lot
of
tutorials
to
help
users
to
have
the
community
understand
how
to
use
rust
or
go
through
to
to
write
each
with
assistance,
and
also
we
had.
We
held
the
the
Hexen.
A
We
have
our
hex
on
every
year
and
I
would
say:
Haxton
is
a
great
event
and
it
really
works
and
I
I
think
we
can
call
ourselves
hackathon
driven
company
because
most
of
our
non
most
many
of
our
important
features
is
created
in
in
hackathon
by
our
engineer
or
the
the
community
uses.
Yeah
and
also
another
important
event.
Is
the
project
conference
like
github
universe.
We
have
our
own
conference
court
ITV
Def
Con
is
we
held
last
like
last
year.
A
We
have
one
week
all
asked
who
G
is
you?
The
users
can
post
questions
issues
while
this
website
in
in
Chinese,
and
we
will
periodically
move
these
questions
to
kidnap
issue
and
in
translated
to
English,
so
that
the
users
can
you
know
they
can
using
search
engine
search,
the
the
issue
keywords.
They
will
have
Chinese
content
and
English
content.
At
the
same
time,.
A
The
first
thing
is
that
remote
remote
first
engineers
like
like
us,
we
don't
like
talking
to
real
people,
so
we
we
always
discuss,
discuss
online,
so
yeah.
Another
is,
of
course,
put
the
COC
on
your
or
your
project,
so
yeah.
It
is
also
very
important
and
I.
Think
for
the
the
the
biggest
blocker
of
the
the
kind
of
new
contributor
is
the
the
first
commit.
So
for
us
for
me,
I
I
will
help
on.
A
If,
if
you
want
to
contribute
to
our
project
I,
if
you
reach
out
to
me,
I
will
help
you
to
hands
on
to
get
your
first
contribution
step-by-step.
So
once
you
finish,
the
the
first
contribution
and
yeah
that
would
be
okay
in
the
in
the
in
the
future
and
the
another
kids
is
be
open.
Share
all
the
things
you
all
things
like
code,
calm
and
style.
The
the
commit
message
tell
write
it
in
in
in
document
we
have
the
new
contributors
to
get
into
the
community
and
I'm.
A
Putting
you
know,
Peter
hub
support,
some
poor
Chris
and
the
issue
template,
so
you
use
these
features,
and
this
is
very
contributor,
friendly
and,
of
course,
updates
the
project
row,
maps
and
the
design
documentation
to
make
sure
everyone
in
the
community
know
what's
going
on
and
what
will
be
next
and
sometimes
you
can
share
the
road
map
and
feature
design
in
a
very
creative
way.
Like
recently,
we
hosted
shelling
challenge
program
account
we
host
the
we
started
the
event
record.
It's
an
online
event.
A
We
called
the
performance
challenge,
we
put
some
feature
proposal
and
the
design
talk
in
in
in
the
in
in
a
project
can
have
issue
page.
So
the
canoe,
the
community
and
every
issue
have
a
have
a
score
on
that.
So
the
contributor
can,
if
you
finish
this
feature
and
your
PR
is
merged
and
you
can
have,
you
know,
have
a
ranking
board.
So
is
it
is
very
interesting
event:
yeah
yeah.
A
The
first
thing
is
that
Ronnie,
the
the
project
only
in
China
are
boring.
The
US
United
State
is
not
important,
but
keeping
keeping
open
and
transparent
is
is
very
important.
So
we
are
trying
our
best
to
lower
the
bars
for
for
the
new
contributors
and
they
help
them
to
and
also
help
them
to
learn
the
necessary
knowledge
like,
like
even
like
health
health,
then
to
to
to
learn
the
program
we
language,
programming
languages.
A
Things
like
this
and
the
second
second
takeaway
is
that
using
some
automation
tools
and
creating
some
puts
that
may
make
made
your
life
easier.
If
you
want
to
maintain
the
large
community
and
localization
is
very
important
and
it's
especially
for
Chinese
market,
so
I
say
the
best.
If
you
want
to
run
the
open-source
project
in
China,
you're
entering
store
the
rich
hat.
Ok,
the
last
thing
I
want
to
want
to
say
this
that
we
are,
we
are
living
in
the
complicating.
A
What
sometimes
is
frustrated,
but
you
know
engineers
like
us,
like
you
and
me-
are
working
together
every
day,
collaborating
every
day
to
create
better
software,
so
I
think
we
are
not
consider
ourselves
is
a
Chinese
open-source
project
or
the
United
States
open-source
project
we
just
open
source
project.
So
thank
you,
and
this
is
my
talk
and
you
can
check
out
in
github.
