ProxySQL
Protocol-aware proxy for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
ProxySQL sits between applications and MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL servers. It runs as a service that the operating system’s service manager controls. Packages come from GitHub releases and package repositories; the README also names a generic Linux tarball, a FreeBSD package and a git clone that builds from source, and the installation guide names a Docker image on Docker Hub.
The project was started with René Cannaò’s initial release in 2013, and the company behind it now also sells support.
Worth knowing
The Web UI Administration feature appears on the paid Professional and Enterprise plans, while the Community plan lists the core features only.
