I hear through the grapevine they’ve got a bunch of companies using it. I think Airbnb migrated to it.

There are quite a few. Pinterest, LinkedIn, Plaid, Mercari, and Rakuten shared their experiences with TiDB at PingCAP's annual event last year (2024) - https://www.pingcap.com/htap-summit/.

In the previous event (2023) there were speakers from Airbnb, Databricks, Flipkart, PayPay, and others sharing their experiences as well - https://www.pingcap.com/htap-summit/sept-2023/

Disclosure: Employee of PingCAP the company behind TiDB

Not only are these companies using TiDB, they're also contributing to it as you can see in this recent blog post: https://medium.com/@ray.paik/tidb-8-5-is-here-b2ca09e972d5
