Vitess - A Distributed Scalable Database Architecture

Explore the distributed scalable database architecture of Vitess in this 26-minute conference talk. Learn about horizontal scaling of MySQL through sharding, shard-routing logic, and how Vitess enables application code and database queries to remain agnostic to data distribution. Discover the capabilities of Vitess for splitting, merging, and migrating shards as your needs grow. Gain insights into its compatibility with development frameworks and integration with open-source tools, making it a core component for high-traffic OLTP sites worldwide. Delve into topics such as VTGate, VTTest, topology, supported databases, use cases, online schema changes, and running Vitess on Kubernetes. Understand how Vitess compares to other MySQL implementations on Kubernetes and where to find comprehensive documentation for further exploration.
