Announcing Vitess 6
Apr 29, 2020Morgan Tocker

Summary
Vitess 6 introduces improved SQL support by incorporating common application queries into its test suite, fixing issues with SHOW commands and SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS. It defaults to using Kubernetes as the Topology Service via Helm charts, simplifying installation and supporting Helm 3. VReplication workflows (MoveTables, Resharding) are now generally available, replacing older migration methods. The test suite has been fully migrated to Go, and legacy code related to Statement-Based Replication and V2 query routing has been removed.
