Recommended database gateway solution
A database gateway is an entry for database cluster traffic. It shields complex connections between applications and database clusters, and therefore, upper-layer applications connected to the database gateway don't need to care about the real state of the underlying database cluster. Additionally, with certain configurations, other features, such as traffic redistribution and traffic governance, can be implemented.
Apache ShardingSphere built above databases can provide enhanced capabilities and manage the data traffic between the application and the database. Thereby, ShardingSphere naturally becomes a database gateway.
Overview and architecture
The overall architecture of the Apache ShardingSphere database gateway solution is shown in the following figure. The core components include read/write splitting and the registry center. Leveraging the distributed governance capabilities of the registry, ShardingSphere can flexibly manage...
