Atlas is a high-performance MySQL protocol proxy (database middleware) developed by Qihoo 360's DBA and infrastructure team, based on MySQL-Proxy 0.8.2 and rewritten largely in C. It provides read/write splitting, load balancing, failover, IP filtering, and data sharding for MySQL backends.
Use cases
- split MySQL reads and writes across master and slave servers
- load balance queries across multiple MySQL backends with failover
- shard MySQL tables across backend databases
- filter client connections by IP address
- take backend MySQL servers online or offline without downtime
- reload proxy configuration without restarting
When to choose
- you run a legacy MySQL deployment on Linux and need a proven C-based proxy for read/write splitting and sharding
- you want battle-tested middleware with billions of forwarded requests in production at Qihoo 360
When to avoid
- you need active maintenance, recent releases, or community support - the latest release is from January 2019
- you need support for databases other than MySQL or modern cloud-native features
- you prefer actively maintained alternatives like ProxySQL, Vitess, or MySQL Router
