Amazon RDS vs Mycat2

Amazon RDS has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Mycat2 is free, open-source distributed relational database middleware for Linux and self-hosted deployment. It supports distributed SQL queries and the MySQL communication protocol while connecting to multiple backend databases through the Java ecosystem. Its query engine handles MySQL syntax and value types, rule- and cost-based optimization, and an independent physical execution engine. Data fragmentation is described as improving query processing. Users can customize and load sharding, serial-number and load-balancing algorithms. A project DSL manipulates physical query plans, forwards SQL and caches result sets. The README currently supports Java 8 only. Release notes for v1.22-2022-6-25 list ClickHouse as a backend for SELECT and INSERT, without returning auto-increment values. They also describe SQL permission interception, RSA encryption for user.json, and recycling inactive backend connections after a default 180-second timeout.
