Some of the largest relational databases run on PlanetScale/Vitess. It's beyond battle hardened.

Its great. We use it.

I'm not sure I would call it even close to battle hardened.

They are still many lurking footguns and bugs.

Try running it with > 250k tables. Falls down hard.

Error logic around etcd/topo server is very shaky, edge cases can wedge cells/clusters into broken state.
