Are you dealing with the challenges of rapid growth? Are you thinking about how to scale your database layer? Should you use NoSQL? Should you shard your relational database? If you are facing these kinds of problems, this tutorial is for you.

Vitess is a database solution for deploying, scaling and managing large clusters of MySQL instances. It's architected to run as effectively in a public or private cloud architecture as it does on dedicated hardware. It combines and extends many important MySQL features with the scalability of a NoSQL database.

By the end of the session, attendees will understand the basics of how to get a Vitess cluster up and running. They will also understand how to perform most of the typical operations you face while running Vitess clusters in a production environment.
