This seems dodgy. Is planetscale behind Vitess? If you press the "Learn more about Vitess" button you get to a page that gives you the impression that it is the homepage of Vitess (and that it is their product). But the actual website of vitess (https://vitess.io) mentions nothing of planetscale and the people behind it. Additionally, planetscale are displaying users of Vitess which makes it look like they are also users of planetscale. |

PlanetScale was created by authors of Vitess, and employs a team of Vitess developers and contributors. There are Vitess contributors outside PlanetScale, from companies such as Slack, Square, Nozzle, Pinterest and others (apologies to people/companies not mentioned).
Just to explain how we work, if you ever come by to KubeCon, you're likely to find our Vitess booth. It is normally staffed by PlanetScale engineers. But in that booth we wear the Vitess hat, not the PlanetScale hat. We want to respect Vitess for being its own open source project, which we share with our community friends from different companies.
Then again, as we employ many Vitess contributors, including the Vitess project leader Deepthi Sigireddi, we do pride in driving this OSS project from within PlanetScale. As we wear our PlanetScale hat, we give credit to the Vitess technology our product is based on.
