SPQR is a system for horizontal scaling of PostgreSQL via sharding. We appreciate any kind of feedback and contribution to the project.

For more about SPQR, please see docs/ and benchmarks/.

• Transaction and session pooling
• Multiple routers for fault tolerance
• Sharding
• Liquid data migrations
• Limited multi-shard queries
• Works over PostgreSQL protocol
• Falling unrouted queries to the world shard
• Minor overhead for query execution
• and, of course, TLS support

You can use make run for a quick example using Docker. For local development, you need the latest Go version.

How to build:

make
make build

How to run:

spqr-router run -c path-to-router-config.yaml

SPQR has regression tests. These tests require Docker Compose, and can be run using make regress. Also, there are stress tests, but it's a work in progress. For more information on testing, please see test and stress sections in Makefile.
