Multigres is Built To Handle Tens of Thousands of Database Nodes

Sugu Sougoumarane is the creator of Vitess (the database sharding system that scaled YouTube) and is now building Multigress at Supabase. In this talk, Sugu reveals why Postgres will hit a dead end at scale, how YouTube’s database team went from telling developers “NO” to everything to enabling unlimited innovation, and how Multigress will take you from day one to petabyte scale—all while feeling like a single Postgres database.
