OLTP or OLAP? Why not both?

vitess.io is an open source sharding middleware system that runs massive OLTP workloads at companies susch as Youtube, Slack and Square. Vitess recently added support for cross-shard materialized views and near real-time rollups - traditionally considered to be OLAP features. The underlying feature that enables this is “VReplication” - the ability to parse MySQL binary log and use it to enable interesting use-cases. I will explain the architecture of Vitess, the genesis of Vreplication for resharding databases and demonstrate VReplication in action for cross-shard materialized views and roll-ups.
