Summary

Vitess 15 is now generally available with new enhancements designed to make it easier to use, more resilient, and easier to scale. The new VTOrc cluster monitoring and recovery component eliminates manual intervention and automates recovery, making Vitess fully self-healing and resilient to MySQL server failures. Additionally, VTAdmin provides a single control plane for managing multiple Vitess clusters, reducing the operational burden and downtime for users. Progress has also been made on VEP-4, reorganizing code to improve usability, and VDiff v2 has been updated with significant improvements in memory efficiency and resumability. Further enhancements have been made in MySQL compatibility and performance, including improved query plans and benchmarking infrastructure. The new release encourages users to try it out and invites feedback via GitHub or Slack.
