ProxySQL Insights

What is ProxySQL?

ProxySQL is a high-performance, open-source SQL proxy server. It sits between client applications and backend database servers (like MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server), acting as an intermediary. It's commonly used for load balancing, query caching, query routing/rewriting, and connection pooling to improve database performance, scalability, and security. It can also provide features like connection multiplexing and read/write splitting.
