Import and customize the ecosystems' core features for various application scenarios

Book Description

Apache ShardingSphere is a new type of open-source database software for distributed data infrastructures based on pluggability and cloud-native principles.

This book begins with a quick overview of the main challenges faced by DBMS today in production environments, followed by a brief introduction to the software's kernel concept. Thereafter, through real-world examples like database security, synthetic monitoring, and database gateways, you will gain a full understanding of ShardingSphere's architectural components, how they are configured and can be plugged into your existing infrastructure, to manage your data and applications. Moving ahead, you will get well versed with the main clients like ShardingSphere-JDBC and ShardingSphere-Proxy and how they can work either concurrently or independently, depending on your needs.Then, you will learn how to customize the plugin platform to define user strategies and manage multiple configurations seamlessly. Lastly, you will get up and running with the groundwork for functional and performance tests for all scenarios including distributed database, read-write splitting, shadow database and more. By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deploy your own customized version of ShardingSphere, addressing the key pain points encountered in your data management infrastructure.
