# TiDB Cloud Lake Overview

TiDB Cloud Lake is cloud-native data warehouse service focused on analytics workloads that scales elastically and supports ANSI SQL and multi-modal data operations. It separates compute and storage, enabling flexible compute provisioning based on workload needs.
TiDB Cloud Lake is a cloud-native data warehouse service for analytics workloads. It separates compute from storage so you can provision warehouses independently, scale with workload changes, and store data cost-effectively in object storage.

## At a Glance
TiDB Cloud Lake supports ANSI SQL, semi-structured data processing, vector search, and AI-oriented workflows in one platform. It is designed for teams that want a managed analytics experience without operating the underlying infrastructure themselves.

> **Private beta:** TiDB Cloud Lake is currently in private beta. Feature availability and service limits might change as we continue to improve the product.

| | |
|---|---|
| ⚡ **< 500ms** cold start | 🔐 **SOC 2 Type II** certified |
| 💰 **> 50%** cost savings vs Snowflake | 📊 **99.95%** uptime SLA |

## Why {{{ .lake }}}?

| | |
|---|---|
| **Serverless** | No clusters to manage. Compute scales to zero when idle. |
| **Storage-Compute Separation** | Scale independently. Hot/warm/cold data tiering. |
| **Enterprise Security** | RBAC, data masking, encryption, PrivateLink, audit logs. |
| **Snowflake Compatible** | Familiar SQL syntax. Smooth migration. |
{{{ .lake }}} brings analytics, vector, search, and geo workloads together in one cloud-native platform. With storage-compute separation, ANSI SQL support, and managed infrastructure, teams can work on multi-modal data with better flexibility, performance, and cost efficiency.
