++ **Compatible platforms.** In the following combinations, TiDB can compile, build, and deploy, and supports OLTP, OLAP, and the data tools. These combinations are not included in the systematic per-release test matrix; compatibility is verified through build and deployment verification and extensive production usage by TiDB users. For production deployments on these platforms, contact PingCAP to confirm support coverage under your subscription.
