Looks like a lot of large social media companies are open sourcing their MySQL sharding & management tools lately. This is awesome! My favorite so far is Youtube's Vitess though, since it enables writing dumb clients. The vtgate proxy forwards queries to the right shard similar to Twemproxy. http://vitess.io

Can Vitess perform connection pooling? Such as aggregating connections from multiple threads locally into one connection to your master or replica?
