kingshard is a high-performance MySQL proxy written in Go that sits between applications and MySQL backends. Its core feature is transparent sharding (hash, range, and date-based) along with read/write splitting, connection pooling, and backend HA.
Use cases
- shard a large MySQL table across multiple nodes
- split read and write queries between master and replicas
- load balance queries across multiple MySQL slaves
- control client access to MySQL with IP ACLs
- take backend MySQL servers online or offline without downtime
- blacklist dangerous SQL statements at the proxy layer
When to choose
- you need transparent MySQL sharding without changing application code
- you want read/write splitting with load balancing across replicas
- you need a lightweight Go-based proxy with near-native MySQL performance
When to avoid
- you need distributed transactions spanning multiple shards
- you use advanced SQL beyond basic DML and common functions
- you want a proxy with an active large community or commercial support
