Today, we are announcing Neki — sharded Postgres by the team behind Vitess. Vitess is one of PlanetScale’s greatest strengths and contemporary Vitess is the product of our experience running at extreme scale. We have made explicit sharding accessible to hundreds of thousands of people and it is time to bring this power to Postgres.
Neki is not a fork of Vitess. Vitess’ achievements are enabled by leveraging MySQL’s strengths and engineering around its weaknesses. To achieve Vitess’ power for Postgres we architected from first principles and built alongside design partners at scale. Neki is built to run the most demanding Postgres workloads.
