@kolinfluence yes, Vitess does not require Kubernetes and the Vitess Operator. You can see this in the documentation, for example: https://vitess.io/docs/18.0/get-started/

  1. what is the maximum number of nodes (server instances) supported? 5000? kubernetes limit?

Vitess itself has no hard limit on the total number of processes involved in a Vitess cluster. So you'd end up running into some limit at some point based on the specifics -- e.g. max number of etcd keys and/or key size limits.
