In other naming clash news; I've noticed that a bunch of companies have launched things named Atlas recently: * hashicorp's application delivery system [1] * netflix's telemetry platform [2] * oreilly's new learning environment [3] * a high-performance and stable proxy for MySQL [4] * a fitness tracker [5] * of course, facebook's atlas [6] [1] https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/atlas.html [2] http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/12/introducing-atlas-netfli...

In Mixer – A MySQL Proxy powered by Go

siddontang·Aug 16, 2014

Now I only see Vitess can support resharding with some restrictions, maybe I am ignorant. I don't think handing sharding on the application level is easy, programmers may care too much about MySQL sharding and can not write sql easily, at least in my company. I have only used Atlas (https://github.com/Qihoo360/Atlas) and cobar (https://github.com/alibaba/cobar), but they are not suitable for my company, so I want to develop a simple one using Go. Auto resharding is very awesome but I don't have the power to do that now. Any help is very welcome.

In Mixer – A MySQL Proxy powered by Go

siddontang·Aug 15, 2014

Mixer is more like Atlas(https://github.com/Qihoo360/Atlas) or Cobar(https://github.com/alibaba/cobar). You can define some rules to route sql to different MySQL servers, maybe it is the main difference. Mixer can not be used in production now, I have been improving it and try to use it in my company first.
