I took a dive into #Vitess today, the "secret sauce" from YouTube (and Planetscale) for crazy database scaling.

Honestly it does look really good, nicer than Galera, but they really need better documentation and examples for everyone that _doesn't_ use Kubernetes. 😡

So for now I don't think I'm going to use it. That said, I think I will switch to Percona from MariaDB, to save myself the migration pain later.
