Technology to Lead the Future of Data & Create an Open Ecosystem

About SphereEx
SphereEx builds distributed data infrastructures while delivering a SaaS exprience through the cloud, and was founded by the core team of Apache ShardingSphere.
ShardingSphere is "platform-based, pluggable, cloud native" a open source ecosystem to transform any database into a distributed database system and enhance it with data sharding, elastic scaling, encryption features & more.
To empower enterprises to easily deal with complex data application scenarios created by increasing database fragmentation, we created the pioneering "Database Plus" and "Database Mesh" concepts - designed to unlock innovative data usage.
Build open source based heterogeneous database standards & ecosystems
As the most important carrier of data, the database plays a vital role for enterprises’ digital transformation. As data increases with use case complexity and the number of diversified scenarios, the threshold of using data directly through the database continues to increase, creating unacceptable enterprise bottlenecks.
ShardingSphere provides enterprises with a new data experience thanks to a standard layer and ecosystem layer above the fragmented databases’ basic services. It enables actual enterprise implementation scenarios to thrive, while contributing valuable solutions to the community and the database industry.

Serve the world and become the new engine for data-based ecosystems
ShardingSphere aims to create a Database + SphereEx (Database + Ecosystem) dual-engine capability thanks to the Database Plus concept. Based on existing database capability, data service capability is enhanced, creating a new data power source.
At the same time, through the Database Mesh concept, this capability is truly plug & play and on demand. Without affecting the original data service method, it achieves a double-engine acceleration effect similar to a catalyst and multiplier.
