Create Your Distributed Database on Kubernetes with Existing Monolithic Databases
The next challenge for databases is to run them on Kubernetes to become cloud neutral. However, they are more difficult to manage than the application layer, since Kubernetes is designed for stateless applications. Apache ShardingSphere is the ecosystem to transform any database into a distributed database system and enhance it with sharding, elastic scaling, encryption features, and more.
