ScyllaDB Docs Developers Simulations High Availability
For AI agents: a documentation index is available at https://developers.scylladb.com/main/llms.txt. A Markdown version of this page is at https://developers.scylladb.com/main/simulations/high-availability.md.

High Availability¶

This simulation shows how ScyllaDB replicates data across nodes and zones (racks), and how the replication factor (RF) and the consistency level (CL) control which requests succeed.

  • Send writes and reads from each client. Each request goes through a coordinator to the replicas of the key.

  • Click a node to stop or start it. Click the border of a zone to stop or start all of its nodes.

  • Change the number of nodes, zones, clients, the RF, and the CL.

  • Turn on Smart Drivers to compare token-aware routing with routing through a proxy node.

Note

This is an educational simulation. It is simplified, and it does not show all of the ScyllaDB internals exactly.
