With Vitess, you can even split and merge shards as your needs 17 grow, with an atomic cutover step that takes only a few seconds. 18 19 Vitess has been a core component of YouTube's database infrastructure 20 since 2011, and has grown to encompass tens of thousands of MySQL nodes. 21 22 For more about Vitess, please visit [vitess.io](https://vitess.io). 23 24 Vitess has a growing community.
