Vitess Blog
Introduction # This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the LFX Mentorship program, where I contributed to Vitess, a CNCF graduated project. Vitess is a cloud-native database designed for horizontal scaling of MySQL. My specific focus during this mentorship was on the "Arewefastyet" subproject, an essential benchmarking platform for Vitess. "Arewefastyet" plays a crucial role in ensuring that each new version of Vitess maintains or improves performance, making it a vital component of the Vitess ecosystem.
