The Open Sharding project is an initiative to provide a high-performance, standardized architecture access for application architects and developers to the capabilities of Database Sharding. Database Sharding is a proven technology for shared-nothing partitioning of databases across multiple servers, allowing unlimited scalability and performance. Open Sharding components are DBMS and vendor agnostic, in that they can operate with any DBMS, including: traditional SQL relational databases, NoSQL databases, in-memory engines, even custom database engines that you build your self. You can also use Open Sharding compatible database sharding components from any vendor components that supports the Open Sharding Protocol.
To learn what Open Sharding is all about, a good place to start is the Open Sharding Protocol.
The key components of the Open Sharding Project are the Open Sharding Protocol and open source Open Sharding Drivers. Open Sharding is designed to allow easy, consistent access to Database Sharding technologies.
This project has two public repositories:
- Source/SVN: This repository is used for obtaining binary builds of Open Sharding components.
- Source/Git: The Git repository contains open source Open Sharding source code, allowing developers to build the components themselves, or just browse the source.
The Wiki contains basic documentation for the project. If you do not find the answers you need, you can email: info@open-sharding.org.
