A Definitive Guide to Apache ShardingSphere [EPUB ebook] 
Transform any DBMS into a distributed database with sharding, scaling, encryption features, and more

Apache Sharding Sphere is a new open source ecosystem for distributed data infrastructures based on pluggability and cloud-native principles that helps enhance your database.
This book begins with a quick overview of the main challenges faced by database management systems (DBMSs) in production environments, followed by a brief introduction to the software’s kernel concept. After that, using real-world examples of distributed database solutions, elastic scaling, Dist SQL, synthetic monitoring, database gateways, and SQL authority and user authentication, you’ll fully understand Sharding Sphere’s architectural components, how they’re configured and can be plugged into your existing infrastructure, and how to manage your data and applications. You’ll also explore Sharding Sphere-JDBC and Sharding Sphere-Proxy, the ecosystem’s clients, and how they can work either concurrently or independently to address your needs. You’ll then learn how to customize the plugin platform to define personalized user strategies and manage multiple configurations seamlessly. Finally, the book enables you to get up and running with functional and performance tests for all scenarios.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy a customized version of Sharding Sphere, addressing the key pain points encountered in your data management infrastructure.
