Questions & Answers
Vitess is an open-source database clustering system for MySQL that enables horizontal sharding — splitting data across many database nodes — to scale to petabytes of data and millions of queries per second. It was originally built at YouTube and is now maintained by PlanetScale. It powers databases at Slack, GitHub, HubSpot, and many other large-scale companies.
PlanetScale now supports both Vitess (MySQL-compatible) and PostgreSQL. Both run on the same bare-metal NVMe infrastructure for maximum performance. You can choose the database engine that best fits your stack.
Database Traffic Control is a PlanetScale feature that lets you set resource budgets for your Postgres query traffic. It gives teams visibility and control over which queries consume the most database resources, helping prevent runaway queries from degrading performance for other workloads.
