Vitess is a cloud‑native, horizontally‑scalable database clustering system built around MySQL. It provides transparent sharding, resharding, and high‑availability for large MySQL deployments.
Use cases
- scale a MySQL database to handle millions of queries per second
- add transparent sharding to an existing MySQL application without code changes
- perform online schema migrations across a large MySQL cluster
- run MySQL workloads on Kubernetes with automated failover and resharding
- manage multiple MySQL shards with a single query router (vtgate)
When to choose
- you need MySQL compatibility but require horizontal scaling and sharding
- your deployment runs on Kubernetes or other cloud‑native environments
- you want built‑in connection pooling, query rewriting, and high availability
- you need to perform live resharding with minimal downtime
When to avoid
- you prefer a NoSQL or non‑relational database model
- your workload is small and does not require sharding or clustering
- you need a fully managed database service with no operational overhead
