Various Architectures: Single Shard, Master-Replica, Read/Write Splitting, and Distributed Cluster

Single node instances are suitable for caching scenarios. Master-replica instances feature automatic failover. Read/write splitting instances apply to scenarios where more reads are processed than writes. Cluster instances can be scaled out.

Master-Replica Architecture

The replica node synchronizes to the master node in real-time. If the master node fails, the system automatically performs a failover and restores the services within a few seconds. Then, the replica node takes over the workloads. Your service is not interrupted during the failover process. The master-replica architecture ensures the high availability of your services.

Cluster Architecture

Cluster instances run in a distributed architecture. Each shard contains a master node and a replica node to ensure high availability. Failovers are triggered when the master node fails. Multiple specifications are provided to deal with different workloads. You can upgrade your instances to improve the performance of the database service.

Read/Write Splitting Architecture

The read/write splitting architecture applies to scenarios where more reads are processed than writes. Each read/write splitting instance supports a maximum of 100,000 writes per second and 600,000 reads per second. This helps you eliminate the performance bottleneck of reading and writing hotkeys.

Data Security: Backup and Restoration, Multi-Layer Network Protection, and Disaster Recovery
