> [!NOTE]
> This lab only supports Chrome browser.

In this lab, you will set up a database replication task from a MySQL source to a TiDB destination. You will also conduct real-time analysis on TiDB as changes are applied to MySQL. Thus, TiDB balances the transactional and analytical workload demands as an Operational Data Layer.
