Open J Proxy (OJP): Rethinking JDBC with Smart Connection Management for Quarkus
About this event
Modern Quarkus services often face database bottlenecks when microservices workloads scale elastically. Traditional JDBC connection pools work well inside a single service but break down when many of the pools compete for database connections.
This session introduces Open J Proxy (OJP), an open-source, database-agnostic proxy that also has as a drop-in JDBC driver for convenience. OJP centralizes connection management and adds resilience features, including:
Backpressure to prevent connection storms Circuit Breaker to stop failing queries from hammering the database We’ll walk through OJP’s architecture and demo integration with Quarkus.
