summary
Vitess presents a MySQL-compatible, cloud-native sharding system that runs on Kubernetes, claims deployments serving millions of queries per second, and supports any MySQL flavor (not Postgres). Demos show VReplication’s move-tables workflow with live reverse replication for instant rollback, automatic failover via an integrated orchestrator that promotes replicas when masters die, and an online DDL with gh-ost/pt-osc syntax that returns a job id, runs asynchronously per shard, and exposes controls to track, cancel, throttle, or retry migrations. VReplication also enables CDC, resharing, and materialized views.
