Benefits

High availability

  • Uses Raft, a distributed consensus protocol, to ensure the reliability of transactions on all nodes.
  • Provides three database nodes. Data logs are synchronized from the primary node to two secondary nodes. The system returns a data write success only after the data is written to at least two nodes.
  • Synchronizes data changes among all nodes to ensure linear consistency.

Limits

To ensure high performance, the three nodes of a High-availability Edition instance are deployed in the same zone.
