This section covers deploying Springtail in a production environment. A production deployment groups the Springtail services into three node types:
  • Ingestion Node — ingest changes from the primary database.
  • Proxy Node — handle client connections and route queries.
  • FDW Node(s) — serve queries; there can be one or more depending on the scale of the deployment.
All nodes share a Redis cache and a common storage layer underneath.

​
High-level steps

Deploying Springtail to production involves the following steps:
  1. Configure PostgreSQL — prepare the primary database for replication.
  2. Configure Redis — set up the shared Redis cache used by all nodes.
  3. Deploy with the Coordinator — use the Springtail Coordinator to start Springtail, add and remove replica nodes, and stop it.
For a local, single-machine setup intended for development and testing, see Local Cluster Deployment instead.
