DBProxy is a MySQL-protocol database middleware developed by Meituan-Dianping's DBA team, forked from Qihoo 360's Atlas with bug fixes and added features. It provides read/write splitting, replica load balancing, sharding, IP filtering, and monitoring for MySQL (Percona) 5.5/5.6 deployments.

Use cases

• split mysql reads and writes across replicas
• load balance queries across mysql slave servers
• shard large mysql tables transparently
• remove failed mysql backends automatically
• filter sql queries and client ips in front of mysql
• monitor mysql proxy traffic and performance

When to choose

• you run mysql 5.5/5.6 and need transparent read/write splitting and failover
• you want a battle-tested proxy already used at scale in production
• you need sql filtering, ip whitelisting, and rich monitoring at the proxy layer

When to avoid

• you use mysql 5.7 or 8.0, which are not supported
• you need an actively developed project - the latest release dates to 2018
• you prefer modern alternatives like ProxySQL or Vitess with larger communities
