Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL through sharding. By enabling shard-routing logic, Vitess allows application code and database queries to remain agnostic to data distribution onto multiple shards. With Vitess, you can split, merge, and migrate shards as your needs grow. With its compatibility with development frameworks and integration to open-source tools, Vitess has been a core component of several high-traffic OLTP sites worldwide and serves data across different platforms.

There are certain industries that greatly benefit from high-performing, low-latency, geo-distributed technologies, while other organizations might be more focused on vertically scaling architectures. This is dependent on numerous factors including the data pipeline, network, data structure, type of product or solution, short and long-term goals, etc. While there are currently many databases and tools that provide vertical scaling capabilities, there are not many that focus on horizontal scaling – but there’s still a need for both.

This article is based on a talk given by Max Liu at PingCAP Infra Meetup.
TiDB is an open source, distributed SQL database started by PingCAP. As the CEO of PingCAP, I’m also TiDB’s principal product manager, with veto power on the important features of our product. Rather than adding more features, my duty at PingCAP is to cut down unnecessary features so that TiDB stays focused yet flexible.
In this post, I will talk about the philosophy behind TiDB’s evolution, and, as a product manager, how I figured out where TiDB would be going and how we finally got there.
