ProxySQL
ProxySQL is a self-hosted Linux database proxy for MySQL, PostgreSQL and related systems. It scales infrastructure without changes to the application stack or database engine, multiplexing more than 100,000 client connections through a few hundred backend connections. Protocol-aware, regex-based routing can send queries to primary servers, replicas or shards, and can route by user, schema or table. The proxy can cache results without application changes, monitor backend health and reroute traffic during failures. Query mirroring duplicates live traffic for analysis and performance testing, while percentage-based balancing supports gradual shifts. A database firewall is intended to protect against SQL injection and runaway queries. Deployment options include Linux packages, Docker and Kubernetes. ProxySQL is GPLv3-licensed open source, released in 2013. The Community plan is free and includes core features, supported platforms and community channels.
