Manan Gupta is a software engineer with eight years of experience focused on distributed database infrastructure and scaling PostgreSQL from single instances to thousands of nodes. Currently at Supabase, he’s building Multigres to bring Vitess-style horizontal scaling to PostgreSQL, after helping maintain Vitess at PlanetScale where he led VTOrc development and added sharded foreign key and atomic distributed transaction support. He combines deep systems engineering with developer tooling—automating release workflows and repository syncing to reduce operational overhead. An active open-source advocate and speaker (KubeCon and MySQL Belgian Days), he translates complex failure modes into practical, reliable automation. Trained at IIT Guwahati, he brings a mix of academic rigor and production-hardened experience solving high-availability, large-scale database problems.
