In this talk, I'd like to give brief information about how to shard your data under MariaDB topologies and the possibility of using frameworks such as Vitess. While discussing the pros and cons of sharding I would like to showcase how structured horizontal sharding can scale your database almost infinitely. The audience will benefit from how others sharding to scale unlimited under both cloud and Kubernetes realm. In this short talk, I'd like to demo a case study that can be an example to get started for many.

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 the distribution of data onto multiple shards. With Vitess, you can split, merge, and migrate shards as your needs grow. With its compatibility to development frameworks and integration to open-source tools, Vitess has been a core component of several high traffic OLTP sites around the world and serving data across different platforms. Vitess is also the first Linux Foundation/Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduated open-source database project.

In this talk, we'll walk through RocksDB technology and look into areas where MyRocks is a good fit by comparison to other engines such as InnoDB. We will go over internals, benchmarks, and tuning of MyRocks engine. We also aim to explore the benefits of using MyRocks within the MySQL ecosystem. Attendees will be able to conclude with the latest development of tools and integration within MySQL.
