Introducing Database Plus
Database Plus is our community's design concept for distributed database systems, designed to build an ecosystem on top of fragmented heterogeneous databases. With this concept, our goal is to provide globally scalable and enhanced computing capabilities, while at the same time maximizing the original database computing capabilities.
With the introduction of this concept, the interaction between applications and databases is oriented toward the Database Plus standard, which means that the impact of database fragmentation is greatly minimized when it comes to upper-layer services. We set out to pursue this concept with the three keywords that define it: Connect, Enhance, and Pluggable.
ShardingSphere's pursuit of Database Plus
To understand how we have leveraged these three keywords to formulate our development concept, we thought that an introduction to each one of them would be helpful to you. Let us dive deeper into each one.
