I might be wrong here, but can someone comment on the process required to add additional nodes on Vitess?

Every time I start reading about Vitess, I fall into a hole about manual resharding, hosting multiple vitess instances per host (I think 250GB of storage each?), and that cross-shard reads may be inconsistent.

I am taking a quick look at the documentation of TiDB, and they have automatic data re-balancing, 2PC Raft-based-transactions, global snapshot isolation, and actually some nice dashboards to analyze cluster health.

Vitess just does not seem nice from an operations perspective.
