Quesma proposes applying microservice principles to the database layer by introducing a database gateway — an architectural component analogous to an API gateway. Just as API gateways enabled microservices to evolve independently, a database gateway could sit in front of databases to provide protocol translation, blue-green deployments, load balancing, authentication, observability, and query optimization. This would make database migrations safer and more iterative, treating databases as just another microservice in the stack. Quesma positions itself as building this open database gateway for the industry.
