Deployment
How CDC is deployed, scaled, and operated in production, for the architect sizing an installation and the SRE keeping it running.
- Deployment topology and scaling: the deployment shapes (standalone Master through Master-plus-workers), how work is sharded and tag-routed across engines, the scaling model, and the availability boundaries to plan maintenance around. Start here.
- Production-operations runbook: the dependencies to provision, the order to bring an installation up, the configuration levers that matter operationally, what to monitor, backup and recovery, and the common operational scenarios.
- Database backend: PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server: how to choose the relational backend with one configuration key, what a PostgreSQL-free SQL Server deployment requires (including Keycloak on SQL Server), and the reviewed behavioural differences between the two backends.
