MySQL at Massive Scale
Vitess in Production
Vitess is a battle hardened open source technology developed at YouTube that now hosts some of the largest sites on the Internet.
Vitess 8.0 is now available!
Why Vitess
Vitess is the cloud native, open source technology powering PlanetScale. Here’s why we love it:Horizontal Scale
Transparent horizontal sharding allows for an unlimited number of database shards without adding complexity to your application. Vitess has seen millions of queries per second in production and has yet to hit scale limitations.
Watch on Youtube. High Availability
Vitess’s primary replica configuration allows for seamless failover from a primary to a replica when unexpected events occur.
MySQL Compatibility
Migrate your existing MySQL applications with minimal changes. Leverage your MySQL expertise for your new applications to achieve massive scale and global deployment.
Schema Migrations
Integration with pt-online-schema
-change and gh-ost reduces the complexity of schema migrations. Vitess makes it easy to track, control, or cancel schema migrations within a simple interface.
Materialized Views
Define materialized views that update continuously to capture complex data across shards. Perform real-time roll ups and data transformation without slowing down your databases.
Kubernetes Native
Developed at YouTube to run on Borg, the inspiration for Kubernetes, Vitess is ideally suited for running databases in Kubernetes. Get started with Vitess on Kubernetes using the open source Vitess operator.
