Under heavy load some of the basic network operations could fail which led to some of the allocated memory to leak. Also the backend protocol never freed the current protocol command if it was not completed. This would happen if a user executed a session command as the first command but backend authentication would fail.
MaxScale by MariaDB Corporation
The MariaDB Corporation MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules, a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of the various servers within the backend cluster of databases.
MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to support different protocols and routing decisions.
For a detailed overview of what MaxScale can do, read the MaxScale page on the MariaDB website.
