This talk will discuss how PlanetScale scaled databases in the cloud, focusing on a shared-nothing architecture that is built around expecting failure. Nick will go into how to deliver low-latency high-throughput systems that span multiple nodes, availability zones, and regions, while maintaining sub-millisecond response times. This starts at the storage layer and builds all the way up to micro-optimizing the load balancer, with a lot of learning at every step of the way.
