Operator-defined (vtgate) deployment

Policies

Operator-controlled
Vitess exposes knobs (transaction pools, query consolidator, hot-row protection, vtgate connection limits) that the operator tunes; there is no shared, hosted rate ceiling.
Backend-bound
Sustained throughput is ultimately bounded by the underlying MySQL shards and the Kubernetes / VM infrastructure they run on.
