Looks like there is two ongoing vitess for postgres projects. Hopefully this competition leads to a better postgres ecosystem.

It gets more spicy when you realize the founder of vitess, also the founder of planet scale, left planet scale to build this at supabase
he left PlanetScale 4 years ago.
There is also pgdog by the author of pgcat: https://pgdog.dev
Supabase also working on OrioleDB
OrioleDB is not about sharding, it's about the storage layer.
I did not claim OrioleDB is about sharding. It was just an observation that Supabase is contributing to Postgres ecosystem through multiple projects.
they likely said that because the context is "vitess for postgres projects" and OrioleDB is not "vitess for postgres"
