Heimdall Database Proxy is a data access layer designed for application developers, database administrators, and architects. It enhances SQL performance, scalability, and security across multi-vendor databases, whether deployed on-premise or in the cloud. Heimdall Proxy operates as a transparent sidecar process, offering distributed deployment for optimal performance and predictive scaling.

Features

• Automated SQL Results Caching:
  • Reduces network latency and accelerates response times.
  • Supports multiple caching solutions including Amazon ElastiCache, Redis, Hazelcast, and GemFire.
  • Automatically determines which query results to cache and invalidate.
  • Requires no code changes for deployment.
• Read/Write Split with ACID Compliance:
  • Implements master-writer and read-replica architecture.
  • Routes queries to appropriate database instances.
  • Detects replication lag to ensure data consistency.
• Advanced Connection Pooling:
  • Reduces front-side to back-side connections by up to a 1000:1 ratio.
  • Limits connections per user and per database to ensure fairness and prevent overload.
  • Supports authentication and authorization via Active Directory integration.
• Vendor Neutral:
  • Works across multiple SQL database vendors.
  • Offers consistent performance and visibility regardless of backend database.
• Distributed Deployment:
  • Enables predictive scaling and optimal performance.
  • Can be deployed as a sidecar process for transparency and ease of integration.
