MyCAT is an Open-Source software, a large database cluster oriented to enterprises. MyCAT is an enforced database which is a replacement for MySQL and supports transaction and ACID. Regarded as MySQL cluster of enterprise database, MyCAT can take the place of expensive Oracle cluster. MyCAT is also a new type of database, which seems like a SQL Server integrated with the memory cache technology, NoSQL technology and HDFS big data. And as a new modern enterprise database product, MyCAT is combined with the traditional database and new distributed data warehouse. In a word, MyCAT is a fresh new middleware of database.
Mycat’s target is to smoothly migrate the current stand-alone database and applications to cloud side with low cost and to solve the bottleneck problem caused by the rapid growth of data storage and business scale.
- Based on Alibaba's open-source project Cobar, whose stability, reliability, excellent architecture and performance, as well as many mature use-cases make MyCAT have a good starting. Standing on the shoulders of giants, MyCAT feels confident enough to go farther.
- Extensively drawing on the best open-source projects and innovative ideas, which are integrated into the Mycat’s gene, make MyCAT be ahead of the other current similar open-source projects, even beyond some commercial products.
- MyCAT behind a strong technical team whose participants are experienced more than five years including some senior software engineer, architect, DBA, etc. Excellent technical team to ensure the product quality of Mycat.
- MyCAT does not rely on any commercial company. It’s unlike some open-source projects whose important features is enclosed in its commercial products and making open-source projects like a decoration.
- Supports individual databases like MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, DB2...
