 ## Advantage of ProxySQL in Kubernetes
 ProxySQL is a high-performance open-source SQL proxy that works between applications and databases. It serves as an intermediary layer, manages and optimizes database connections and queries. With ProxySQL, you can load balance queries across multiple database instances, route read and write operations to replicas, and provide failover support.

 ## ProxySQL on Kubernetes: Best Practices
 To ensure the stability of your application when using ProxySQL on Kubernetes, there are some best practices that you should follow:
 
-* *Leveraging the Kubernetes ProxySQL Operator:* To simplify the deployment and management of ProxySQL in a Kubernetes cluster, it is recommended to use the Kubernetes ProxySQL Operator. Kubernetes operators are controllers that encapsulate the operational knowledge of the application and automate administration tasks. The Kubernetes ProxySQL Operator simplifies the configuration and scaling of ProxySQL instances, reducing the strain on database administrators.

-* *Ensuring High Availability:* High availability is essential in any production-grade database environment. When deploying ProxySQL on Kubernetes, Having the option of scaling provides the flexibility to meet increasing demands and ensure optimal performance. It enables enterprises to instantly allocate resources and handle expanding workloads in real-time.

-* *Configuring Connection Pooling:* Connection pooling helps manage the number of connections between ProxySQL and the database backends. Properly configuring connection pooling ensures efficient use of resources and prevents overloading the database with excessive connections. It is important to achieve the proper balance between providing the maximum number of connections while still keeping some connections open to deal with the demand.

-* *Monitoring & Security:* Implementing monitoring allows effectively identifying performance issues, optimizing resource utilization, and ensuring efficient operations. Tracking essential metrics, such as connection rate, query cache hit rate, and backend server status, allows administrators to proactively respond to changes in the database workload. Also, Enabling TLS/SSL Support in the database guarantees secure communication, safeguarding sensitive data against unauthorized access or interception. By establishing an encrypted connection between the client and the database, It improves data privacy and ensure high security standards.
