Open Source Database Infrastructure with Vitess
summary
Covers Vitess (a CNCF open-source MySQL clustering system) and four experimental features that automate complex DB operations: write throttling to apply backpressure on massive writes; a table lifecycle mechanism to perform safe, lazy DROP TABLEs; an online DDL system for automating, scheduling and managing nonblocking schema migrations; and high-availability, failover and cluster-healing using vitess/orchestrator (vtorc). It also briefly explains Vitess’s architecture and how it enables those controls.
