Summary
This post details the integration of Orchestrator into Vitess as a first-class citizen. It explains how the Vitess-aware Orchestrator leverages Vitess's topology server to understand cluster structure and expected states, enabling goal-driven failure detection and recovery. New scenarios addressed include replica without a primary, writable replicas, read-only primaries, and multi-primary setups, moving beyond the previous external integration's limitations.
