This week we introduced the Open Sharding Protocol (OSP), an open
source protocol designed specifically for plug-compatible
database drivers which support the full capabilities of database
sharding. OSP is the foundation of the dbShards 3.x architecture,
something I’ll be talking about a lot at the Cloud Computing Expo
West, Nov. 7-10 and in the coming months as we continue to
introduce leading advances in dbShards technology.
There are many approaches to database sharding, but they all
agree on one principle: all modern scalable database
architectures (RDBMS, NoSQL, “NewSQL”) rely on scalable,
horizontal partitioning to accomplish ultra-high performance. As
you probably know, we have been in the sharding game for many
years, and early research we performed proved that a
“share-nothing/shard-everything” architecture is unbeatable when
it comes to overall performance and throughput. This is even more
powerful with our Relational …
