How does planetscale for postgres scale? I understand that it's multi node postgres with automatic failover but I think it only really scales for reads and not writes? So is the only way to scale writes horizontally to shard?
- samlambert 1y agoKind of. For horizontally scaling writes we are building the Vitess for Postgres which we are calling Neki https://www.neki.dev/ https://www.neki.dev/ The product we are GA'ing today has the option of PlanetScale Metal which is extremely fast and scales write QPS further than any of the other single-primary Postgres hosts.
- vmg12 1y agoThanks for the response, this clarifies things for me because I thought this was already a vitess for postgress implementation. Awesome to hear that this is coming.
