Scale Fabric

Overview

Scale fabric ensures continuous availability of multi-node topologies even when individual nodes fail.

It allows for seamless scale up/down and in/out without downtime.

Replicated topologies become highly efficient as replicas can be used for scaling reads.

With scale fabric, failover becomes instant and transactions that don't complete on a node can automatically be replayed to another node.

Scale fabric costs and charges represent the additional Kubernetes, network, host, and backup infrastructure as well as MariaDB MaxScale and Operator software deployed for multi-node topologies.
