tidb has been around for a while, it is distributed, written in Go and Rust, and MySQL compatible. https://github.com/pingcap/tidb https://github.com/pingcap/tidb Somewhat relatedly, StarRocks is also MySQL compatible, written in Java and C++, but it's tackling OLAP use-cases. https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks But maybe this project is tackling a different angle. Vitess MySQL library is kind of hard to use. Maybe this can be used to build ORM-like abstraction layer?
