Implement vitess with magento 2

Question

Can someone please help me on how to implement a vitess with Ma.neto 2 Ecommerce platform? I want to do sharding Magento 2 database in the community version.

Answer 1

It's unlikely you'll be able to achieve this for two reasons:

1. Although an application does not generally need to be vitess-aware, certain queries that magento may issue may not be supported eg joining on a sub-query. Other things that aren't supported are auto-incrementing ids

2. In order to get the most from Vitess, you need to supply it with a VSchema - a json definition of your schema detailing how each table should be sharded 9plus other stuff). If you don't supply this, vitess just won't work
