## What it is
Async, Netty-based database drivers for PostgreSQL and MySQL written in Scala, focused on the simple send-a-statement/get-a-response workflow. The project is explicitly no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- run async postgres queries from scala
- non-blocking mysql driver for jvm apps
- postgres listen/notify from scala
- async database access without jdbc
- scala database driver built on netty

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Scala codebase already using it
- you need a lightweight async driver without JDBC overhead and accept the risks

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is unmaintained since 2019
- you need live updatable result sets or full JDBC features
- you need security patches or support for newer PostgreSQL/MySQL versions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database-driver, concurrency
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: postgresql, mysql, netty, async, scala, unmaintained
