| 7 | Neki is a **sharded Postgres** product built by [PlanetScale](https://planetscale.com/) — the company behind [Vitess](https://vitess.io/), the widely-adopted open-source database clustering system for MySQL. Neki brings PlanetScale's deep expertise in horizontal scaling and database infrastructure to the Postgres ecosystem. |
