ShardingSphere-Proxy
ShardingSphere-Proxy is a self-hosted database proxy that gives clients a database server interface over a binary protocol. Its listed client protocols are MySQL, PostgreSQL, openGauss, and Firebird. It distributes storage and computing across underlying databases through sharding, and provides distributed transactions with a hybrid XA and BASE engine. Read/write splitting balances reads using SQL semantics and awareness of database topology. Other capabilities include migration with sharding, federated queries, transparent encryption, and data masking.
You can deploy it from a binary distribution, as a Docker image, or with Helm. The binary requires Java JRE 8 or higher; Docker needs no additional dependency. For a MySQL backend, the Proxy ext-lib directory needs mysql-connector-j-8.4.0.jar. The project is free at free. Support for system databases and tables such as information_schema and pg_catalog is limited, and some graphical database clients may show errors.
