Proxy Power: Boosting Java App Performance with Open J Proxy by Rogerio Robetti

Join us for the next **Riyadh Java User Group meetup!** Open J Proxy (OJP) is an open-source project that brings true freedom to database connectivity — freeing applications from database, cloud, and even language lock-in. Built in Java but designed for all, OJP acts as a smart, lightweight proxy between your apps and relational databases. It provides built-in backpressure, a circuit breaker, and an innovative slow query segregation strategy to prevent overloads and maintain system responsiveness under stress. Fully open-source and seamlessly integrated with modern Java stacks, OJP empowers developers to scale safely, operate independently, and choose their infrastructure without compromise. See you there!
