Cetus

Introduction

Cetus is middleware developed in C for the relational database MySQL, primarily offering comprehensive database access proxy functionality. Cetus is designed to be largely compatible with MySQL connections, allowing applications to access the database through Cetus with minimal changes, thus achieving horizontal scaling and high availability at the database layer.
