  Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL.

  

Installing the time zone tables on a single instance is certainly not hard: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/time-zone-support.ht...

The trickier part is orchestrating the ongoing management of that across a large dynamic fleet. And in this case, it was much more than simply loading the tables but about using them to support importing databases into PlanetScale: https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/pull/10102

I'll link to my other comment on the billing issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31509240

We've had to do some other changes to our MySQL fork as well that will show up there, but we'd love to not have any patches! We'd love to keep the patch set minimal (just as Amazon certainly does with RDS and Aurora). And I would certainly argue that Vitess, which is what we build PlanetScale around, is a meaningful piece of technology that pairs with MySQL to make a great database: https://vitess.io

  1 4 0.0 C++

  MySQL Server, the world's most popular open source database, and MySQL Cluster, a real-time, open source transactional database. (by planetscale)

  

tz setup is done with executing a single script. not surprising they could fix quickly. bigger surprise is they forgot to do this before youre support request. generally this is table stakes for managed DB

this is fourth day in a row of planetscale ads^H^H^H blog posts being on hn front page. as i mentioned on yesterdays thread, innodb_rows_read is known to be buggy. regardless, by design it includes cached rows. terrible thing to base billing on. real cloud providers base it on i/o instead since this is more reasonable metric of "use"

planetscale's fork of mysql-server adds only a single commit, which exposes rows_read in an extra place. this from company that keeps talking about "building a database" https://github.com/planetscale/mysql-server
