Pisanix

Abstract

1. Introduction

Pisanix [Pi-sanics] is a modern database governance framework for Kubernetes. Pisanix adds SQL-aware traffic control, audit, security and extension abilities to help manage various databases in the Database Mesh way.

2. Objective

A Database Mesh Project Sponsored by SphereEx

This project demonstrates how Rust, Kubernetes can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• Pisa-Controller: A Golang control plane designed for sidecar injection and configuration transformation
• Pisa-Proxy: A high performance Rust data plane used as SQL traffic proxy, support various of traffic governance capabilities.
• Pisa-Daemon(Coming Soon): A optional data plane works on every node, provide programmable runtime management such as TrafficQoS.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Rust toolchain (rustup / cargo)
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/database-mesh/pisanix.git
cd pisanix

1. Quick Start

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
• Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
• Add monitoring and cost alerts

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
