MySQL Proxy evolved a lot since last years Birds of a Feather session. From a simple proof of concept to a production used component in the MySQL stack.

With is very simple core and integrated LUA-scripting the Proxy is able to handle a large set of use-cases from

  • Query Rewriting (Schema Migration, Query Cache optimizations, ...)
  • Query Injection (Query Analysis, auto grouping of INSERTs into Transactions, ...)
  • Query Handling (Query Caching, ...)

to

  • dynamic Load Balancing
  • Connection Pooling
  • Read/Write Splitting
