Vitess turns a single MySQL instance into a distributed data layer that scales MySQL to hundreds or thousands of nodes while presenting a single-server façade to clients; major users include GitHub, Slack, Square, Shopify, and Uber. Operators get sharding and re-sharding, materialized tables, online schema changes, backup/recovery, query consolidation for hot rows, and automated recovery via VT Orchestrator plus a Kubernetes operator CRD. A demo shows a cluster CRD deployed and a working cluster in minutes.
