FlonaDB - Database Proxy

FlonaDB is an abstraction of a database proxy that allows your application to loosely connect to target databases using unique logical names or keys. It differs from a traditional database because it can't be used alone without a traditional target database.

It also differs from other database proxies because it requires no extra server setup since the proxy mechanism is executed in the client application.

Key Features

• Allows an application to connect to a target database using a unique logical name or key, no need for a host name, port, username and password, connection URL parameters and more, this is because all these are configured inside flonaDB.
• Database independence, based on the feature above, it implies that to some extent your application can be agnostic to the database system behind the proxy and you can plug-in features that cut across all the databases like collecting statistics, a custom security model, connection timeouts, data masking etc.
• Data masking for configured column values that is database independent.
• Centralized management of target database connection credentials like host name, port, username, password and other required information for multiple applications making it easier to update all applications at once when the connection credentials change, it can be very frustrating to wake up in the morning and a weekly batch processing job which runs at night failed since the application could not connect to the database because the database admin performed a routine update of the passwords during the day.
