Hi MA, You could still accomplish the local environment you are describing by using 8 ssh tunnels. All the database name DNS aliases go reference the section names, eventually (s1, s2, s3, s4 in the form of s1.analytics.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs, etc.). An app could be written to connect to the correct section instead of the database if you are doing that kind of thing, but you’ll either need to make requests to https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/s<correct-number>.dblist <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/s%3Ccorrect-number%3E.dblist> like https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/s4.dblist <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/s4.dblist> and map things out from there or perhaps check DNS for the database name and look up the “s#” record from there (which is currently possible in Lua, and I can provide an example of how I did it in that language).
A mediawiki config checkout would also work besides what can be gleaned from noc.wikimedia.org <http://noc.wikimedia.org/>. We can try to document some examples of how you might do it either way. I’m sure it is non-trivial, but 8 tunnels is more workable than 900, at least. Routing by reading the queries on the fly is quite tricky. The closest I’ve seen ready-made tools come to that is ProxySQL, and that focuses on sharding, which is not exactly the same thing.
