TencentDB for MySQL Database Proxy vs Varonis Next-Gen Database Activity Monitoring

TencentDB for MySQL Database Proxy is a managed service positioned between an application and TencentDB for MySQL. Applications connect through a proxy address while the service routes reads to read-only instances and writes to the source instance. Connection pooling reduces the burden of frequent or excessive new connections, and transaction splitting can separate reads and writes within transactions. A multi-node cluster across availability zones supports failover. Proxy resources are isolated per instance, with stated capacity of up to 100,000 requests per second per proxy. Nodes can scale from 1 to 60, while request, CPU, and memory metrics are monitored at second-level granularity. Configuration can be hot-loaded after source switches, changes, or read-only instance changes without disconnecting or restarting. Access modes either balance connections across nodes or select a nearby node. Supported databases are MySQL 5.7, MySQL 8.0, and the TencentDB read-only analysis engine. The pay-as-you-go plan is listed at $0.07 a month, with regional CU pricing details.
