A MySQL compatible database engine written in pure Go
You would be surprised by performance of modern .NET :)
Writing no-alloc is oftentimes done by reducing complexity and not doing "stupid" tricks that actually work against JIT and CoreLib features.
For databases specifically, .NET is actually positioned very well with its low-level features (intrisics incl. SIMD, FFI, struct generics though not entirely low-level) and high-throughput GC.
Interesting example of this applied in practice is Garnet[0]/FASTER[1]. Keep in mind that its codebase still consist of un-idiomatic C# and you can do way better by further simplification, but it already does the job well enough.

At the same time Microsoft releases Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet
Good timing.

A MySQL compatible database engine written in pure Go
With Vitess likely merging a lot of its binaries into a single unified binary: https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/7471#issuecomment-...
... it would be a wild future if Vitess replaced the underlying MySQL engine with this as long as the performance is good enough.

The challenges of supporting foreign key constraints
Thank you for the compliment!
We recently started adding support for CTEs in Vitess! You can check out https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/pull/14321 if you want to see some technical details of the implementation.
For now, we have added preliminary support by converting them to derived tables internally, but we believe that we need to make CTEs first-class citizens themselves of query planning. Once we make that change, we can look towards supporting recursive CTEs.
This however will take some time, but then, all good things do!

PlanetScale Scaler Pro
This is great news. I strolled around https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/12967.
Are there any public discussions of more trade-offs vitess has to make to enable fks?

What is the best database technology to use to create a new chat app today?
MySQL + Vitess I noticed Slack gets by using MySQL because they're using Vites. From Slack's post (https://slack.engineering/scaling-datastores-at-slack-with-vitess/) it seems like they choose Vites because it facilitated a smooth transition because it's built on top of MySQL.

A lot of this is possible thanks to the magic of Vitess.
