Summary
This post announces Neki, a new sharded Postgres system built by the Vitess team. It is architected from first principles to run demanding Postgres workloads and is not a fork of Vitess. It leverages Vitess's experience in running at extreme scale to make explicit sharding accessible for Postgres.
