ABSTRACT OF THE TALK

In this talk, Maxwell is going to share his thoughts about Service Mesh and database operations, called Database Mesh, and figure out the design of Pisanix.

Running databases on Kubernetes is hard, Database Mesh is building a new standard of databases management on cloud. It tries to make database operation more easier, and provides a framework for different kind of databases.

Such as using a CRD called VirtualDatabase to describe a virtual database, developers will only need to know about this, meanwhile DBAs will have to bind TrafficStrategy and DatabaseEndpoint to VirtualDatabase, let Pisanix running like a MySQL proxy for applications. More features like SecurityClaim and TrafficQoS will be added to simplify the database operation work.
