Cloud native and open source are the two most prominent labels on PingCAP.
Cloud nativity means that the operation of software applications is no longer based on local servers, but the cloud environment is considered when designing applications to take advantage of the flexibility, flexibility and distribution of cloud services; Open source, that is, open source code, means that code creators disclose their own software source code to the whole world on the basis of following relevant open source agreements, allowing other developers to learn, test, modify, develop and spread independently, so as to improve the quality of software products and optimize software functions in a collaborative way.
