Slightly off-topic but trying to understand something from the landing page:
> Powered by open source tech - Built at Google to scale YouTube.com to billions of users
Is this a Google project/business owned by Alphabet? The text seems to indicate so, but I find no information about it when doing some quick searching or browsing through the website.
- aarondf 4y agoNope! That part you quoted is referring to Vitess, which was built at Google to scale YouTube. See more: https://planetscale.com/vitess https://planetscale.com/vitess
- capableweb 4y agoAha, I see. Thanks for explaining! So I'm guessing PlanetScale now helps maintain Vitess and PlanetScale is somewhat of a hosted Vitess for people who don't want to self-host?
- aarondf 4y agoYup! Vitess is at the core of PlanetScale and enables us to add lots of cool stuff on top (branching, Boost, etc) but Vitess itself is still open source!
