# MaxScale by MariaDB plc

The MariaDB 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.
