Intro: Vitess
summary
Vitess is a MySQL sharding middleware that runs on Kubernetes-style infrastructure, used in production by YouTube-scale sites and by JD with 3,000 databases and 18,000 tablets. It implements VTGate proxies and VReplication to do live vertical split and master migration, copying data then switching read and write pointers with rollback ability. Demo shows splits and failovers work with small tooling on a laptop; expect ~4–5 ms extra latency per query but much higher write throughput.
