Abstract

ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart utilizes the Helm Charts tool to deploy ShardingSphere-Proxy to Kubernetes clusters. Leveraging Helm syntax, SphereEx builds and distributes the project.

Proposal

The goal of this proposal is to bring the existing ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart codebase, developers and community into the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) as ShardingSphere's sub-project. 

This project aims to improve the delivery capability of ShardingSphere-Proxy on Kubernetes. ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart is submitting this proposal to donate it to the Apache ShardingSphere Incubator under the Apache License, Version 2.0, in order to replace the existing scheduler framework. 

These artifacts are currently available on GitHub at: https://github.com/SphereEx/shardingsphere-charts.git

Background

ShardingSphere is a Top-Level open source distributed database middleware. However, currently ShardingSphere cannot be quickly deployed and upgraded in a cloud environment.

SphereEx created the Helm Chart tool ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart to manage ShardingSphere-Proxy in Kubernetes. The project allows users to quickly deliver ShardingSphere-Proxy projects for a cloud environment such as Kubernetes. 

SphereEx decided to donate ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart as a ShardingSphere sub-project with the desire to provide cloud services.

Current Status

ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart has recently completed the development of its own v1.0.0 version, and passed the usability test. The project also contains full usage documentation. We think that bringing ShardingSphere-Proxy Helm Chart into the ShardingSphere community can help ShardingSphere expand its deployment and delivery capabilities on the cloud, and help ShardingSphere grow closer to the cloud environment. 

Core Developer

SphereEx  provides a new generation of open source heterogeneous distributed data service platform. SphereEx's core competence can be found in its ability to improve users’ data service capabilities, by creating upper-level standards and ecosystems for heterogeneous databases.
