DBSlayer lets you access your database via http and returns JSON. That’s supposed to help with scaling. What I don’t understand is this: won’t accessing your db over http make things slow? Since you have to go over the internets? Compared with hitting your db machine that sits next to you in a rack?
Actually I figured it out. You’re supposed to access it through http://localhost/ or something, locally, not over the inkernets.
Interesting approach.
