Kubernetes is the emerging operating system for computing resources either in the cloud or in your own data centers.
Vitess is the battle tested open source technology used by companies such as Slack, Square, and Github.
MySQL is the world’s most popular open source relational database.
We built Vitess at Google to run YouTube’s databases, ranging from single instance to massive multi-shard, multi-cell clusters on Borg, the blueprint for Kubernetes. As Hubspot and JD.com have proven, Vitess makes running your databases in Kubernetes easy.
Support the smallest databases to the largest with shard, the unit of database within Vitess where we co-locate related data. As your data grows, scale up by splitting your database into more and more shards. Grow indefinitely without degrading performance.
PlanetScale provides a platform that can host your data on-prem and then seamlessly migrate it to the cloud provider of your choice or a multi-cloud cluster if you prefer.
