Review\n"No company can afford to have its business growth limited by its system scalability. In my 30 years of practice, I have seen many examples of failure due to database limitations. This book introduces data sharding solutions to help DBAs who need to re-engineer or optimize their databases due to the horizontal scalability. A great resource for DBAs." -- 
Chuck Chen, CTO, NetStars Inc, Japan\n"When I first talked to Liang and Trista about ShardingSphere in the cloud, I was impressed by their intense passion and commitment to open source. ShardingSphere-Proxy is already well established and has been verified by a variety of production workloads and validated solutions. Its positioning also makes it easy to integrate ShardingSphere into current cloud-native databases. 
In time, I realized that ShardingSphere is also a plugin platform providing on-demand database-related features, such as encryption. And its multi-tenant architecture design is a good fit for SaaS companies’ requirements for databases. 
This book is beginner-friendly while remaining engaging to advanced developers. It can help you effectively learn about the Apache ShardingSphere ecosystem and solve a number of challenges that affect the database management systems of today." -- 
DAI Wen, Head of Solutions Architecture, Greater China, Amazon Web Services\n"If you are struggling to manage massive data from a DBA or developer perspective, this definitive guide to Apache ShardingSphere can help you. This book not only explains the problem that Apache ShardingSphere is dedicated to solving but also shows the technical detail and the real-world use cases with runnable examples. Finally, you can leverage the community support from Apache ShardingSphere to get the latest update, which is introduced in the Appendix of the book." --
