Editorial Reviews

Review

"No company can afford to have its business growth limited by its system scalability. In my 30 years of practice, I have seen many examples of failure due to database limitations. This book introduces data sharding solutions to help DBAs who need to re-engineer or optimize their databases due to the horizontal scalability. A great resource for DBAs."

"When I first talked to Liang and Trista about ShardingSphere in the cloud, I was impressed by their intense passion and commitment to open source. ShardingSphere-Proxy is already well established and has been verified by a variety of production workloads and validated solutions. Its positioning also makes it easy to integrate ShardingSphere into current cloud-native databases.

In time, I realized that ShardingSphere is also a plugin platform providing on-demand database-related features, such as encryption. And its multi-tenant architecture design is a good fit for SaaS companies’ requirements for databases.

This book is beginner-friendly while remaining engaging to advanced developers. It can help you effectively learn about the Apache ShardingSphere ecosystem and solve a number of challenges that affect the database management systems of today."

"If you are struggling to manage massive data from a DBA or developer perspective, this definitive guide to Apache ShardingSphere can help you. This book not only explains the problem that Apache ShardingSphere is dedicated to solving but also shows the technical detail and the real-world use cases with runnable examples. Finally, you can leverage the community support from Apache ShardingSphere to get the latest update, which is introduced in the Appendix of the book."

4.0 out of 5 stars How to make a cloud agnostic RDMBS cluster
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2022
A Definite Guide to Apache ShardingSphere is a very in-depth look into this federated / sharding database technology. The book is extremely thorough and detailed on the subject. Apache ShardingSphere is a middleware layer for building out a distributed / shared nothing cluster from standard RDBMS platforms (MySQL, Postgres,Oracle, AWS). The goal is to provider horizontal scalability and high availability to a DIY type database cluster using Apache ShardingSphere as the middleware. This is a very useful idea in terms of keeping cloud costs down and scaling out your database platform in a vendor /could agnostic way. This method can supply a needed layer of vendor independence typically missing from cloud solutions.

ShardingSphere basically has two implementations used for sharding database applications: 1) Java only / focused through a JDBC driver, 2)A proxy service allowing all other languages. This lets you apply the technology to your entire application stack if you wanted to.

The book is very detailed on architecture, configuration, and deployment. It is exhaustive on the topic. It might have been improved thorough introducing simplified examples early in the chapters and followed up by some more developer – architect aimed examples later. There are example cases near the end of the book, but they seem to be very detailed and it is easy to get a bit lost.

Overall, I am quite happy with the book and its exploration of the topic. I will definitely now investigate the usage of Apache ShardingSphere in my environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Distributed Database and Event Streaming
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2022
This a very well written book and provides great insight into distributed databases. As eventdrivenarchitecture and eventstreaming have grown with the usage of design patterns like CQRS and EventSouring; thus, having the ability to store a system of record using a domain model is very important. In the past, I have accomplished this by using EventStore or Marten in a NoSQL method. The events are persisted in an event store that acts as the authoritative data source about the current state of the data. The event store typically publishes these events so that consumers can be notified and can handle them if needed.

Apache ShardingSphere provides the same benefits by creating a distributed database through the usage of PostgresSQl and MySQL. It is easy to scale the database horizontally both in compute and storage. Further Apache SharingSphere provides migration capabilities to help migrate the data from other data sources, while simultaneously performing data sharding. This leads to the ability to create a datamesh architecture for advanced analytics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Implementation of sharding
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2022
Definitive Guide to ApacheShardingSphere book talks about transforming any DBMS into a distributed databases using sharding. Considering amount of data being processed these days, sharding is one of solution and author talks about Apache ShardingSphere library to acheive this. It provides horizontal scaling and currently supports many types of databases including MySQL and PostgreSQL protocols. Author explains in detail about the architecture, configuration and deployment with practical examples. Overall enjoyed reading the book on the concept of sharding and highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting implementation of sharding facilities
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022
When designing data-intensive systems, a common problem is the sheer volume of data being processed. One way to solve this problem is sharding. This book describes the Apache ShardingSphere library that implements this method.

This library implements architectural and software tools for organizing a segmented data warehouse that includes various DBMS. The library provides a set of different features, ranging from setting up various sharding schemes to a separate agent for managing shards. This library is a good tool for designing, developing and using complex sharded databases.

As part of my projects, I used this library to work with sharded PostgreSQL partitioned by database. What was my surprise when, after a simple setup, I was able to work with several databases as a whole! Support for the PostgreSQL dialect is still far from perfect, but on the way to it.

I strongly encourage you to try the library through the study of this book.
