Original RFC in TiDB Hackathon 2020
TiDE is a TiDB IDE project, which got the second prize in the TiDB Hackathon 2020.
Motivation
TiDB as a distributed database system project is very complicated. For community newbies, one have a hard learning curve before he/she could contribute to any of the TiDB related open source projects (TiDB/TiKV/PD/Tools). For contributors, they must hand craft tons of customized scripts to even get the basic things done, like compiling a new tikv-server binary, distributing to servers, restarting the cluster, and harvesting logs for debugging.
We propose a new way of solving these issues by incubating an IDE project called TiDE (IDE for TiDB, also homophonic to IDE), which is aimed at TiDB related developing experiences.
