#22 DoK community: Vitess Operator for Kubernetes // Alkin Tezuysal

In this talk, I would like to uncover our newly announced Vitess Operator for Kubernetes. This talk demonstrates the sample implementation of Vitess in Kubernetes topology. I also explore common DBA tasks by demonstrating how they are handled in the Vitess ecosystem. Vitess, out of the box, comes with a lot of tools and utilities that one has to either incorporate or develop to manage MySQL topology. Let’s take a look at the capabilities of Vitess in these areas and demonstrate how they are performed under the operator realm.


Alkin Tezuysal has extensive experience in enterprise relational databases, working in various sectors for large corporations. With more than 20 years of industry experience, he has acquired skills for managing large projects from the ground up to production. For the past decade, he's been focused on e-commerce, SaaS, and MySQL technologies.

Alkin has managed and architected database topologies for high volume sites at eBay Intl. He has several years of experience in 24X7 support and operational tasks, as well as improving database systems for major companies. He has led global operations teams on Tier 1/2/3 support for MySQL customers.

In late 2020, he joined PlanetScale's expert engineering team over Vitess.
