+## Definition
+
+Apache ShardingSphere is an open source ecosystem of distributed databases,
including three independent products: JDBC, Proxy & Sidecar (Planning). It
adopts a plugin-oriented (or plugabble) architecture and expands the original
databases' features list thanks to components.
+
+ShardingSphere provides many enhanced features in the form of database
protocol and SQL, including data sharding, access routing, data security, etc.
It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and other data storage
engines.
+
+The idea of the Apache ShardingSphere project is to provide an enhanced
database computing service platform and then build an ecosystem around it. The
project makes full use of the computing and storage capabilities of existing
databases and enhances their core capabilities thanks to plugins. It can solve
many digital transformation challenges faced by enterprises and empower them to
accelerate digital applications.
+
+ShardingSphere became an [Apache](https://apache.org/index.html#projects-list)
Top-Level Project on April 16, 2020. You are welcome to check out the mailing
list and discuss via [mail](mailto:[email protected]).
