What is GatewayD?
GatewayD is a modern, cloud-native database gateway and framework designed to enhance security and performance for data-driven applications. As a free and open-source solution, GatewayD offers out-of-the-box support for PostgreSQL and is easily extended to other SQL databases through plugin architecture. The platform features advanced capabilities such as connection pooling, comprehensive observability, and robust plugin support for functions like caching and SQL injection prevention using deep learning models.
With GatewayD, developers can efficiently manage database connections, optimize query performance with intelligent caching, and significantly strengthen infrastructure security against SQL injection attacks. The framework prioritizes ease of integration, allowing minimal or zero-code changes to existing systems, and equips developers with SDKs and project templates for rapid plugin development in languages like Go and Python.
Features
- AI-powered SQL Injection Detection: Utilizes deep learning models to detect and prevent SQL injection attacks.
- Query Result Caching: Caches SQL SELECT query results in Redis for optimized performance.
- Advanced Cache Invalidation: Seamless and consistent cache updates across infrastructure.
- Flexible Connection Pooling: Offers fixed or elastic connection pooling and proxy capabilities.
