What we couldn't confirm3
- Whether TiDB Cloud is a paid service separate from the open-source code was not stated in the README beyond calling it a fully managed version with a free plan.
- The exact feature gap between TiDB and Aurora or Spanner was not described in the material.
- The README does not state a specific group for databases; no existing group matches, so a new group is proposed.
