Summary
By completing this chapter, you have gone through four important scenarios that you will find to be fundamental not only with Apache ShardingSphere but also when working with databases in general.
You first learned how to distribute database traffic to multiple databases to increase service stability and reliability. Then, you moved on to learn how to distribute database traffic between production and stress testing databases, test your database gateway, and finally, encrypt your data with ShardingSphere.
In the next chapter, you will come across some notable best use cases and real-world examples for using Apache ShardingSphere.
