Introducing sharding on PlanetScale with workflows
Nov 7, 2024Ben Dicken

Summary
Introduces a new 'Workflows' functionality that allows users to horizontally scale their databases by moving tables to a sharded keyspace directly from the PlanetScale dashboard. This workflow is similar to Vitess's `MoveTables` operation and enables zero-downtime traffic switching after data migration and replication. The post details the UI for configuring and executing these workflows, emphasizing the ease of transitioning from unsharded to sharded environments.
