Driven Administrator Guide
version 2.0.5Selecting a Deployment Topology
The topology of how the Driven, Elasticsearch, and Tomcat components are architected for your deployment depends on your goals and on your system environment. There are two recommended deployment topologies for the Driven Server:
-
Deploying a Single-Node Environment: You can deploy an "out-of-the-box" single installation of Driven that includes an embedded Elasticsearch datastore for learning how to use the product or for small-scale usage.
-
Deploying a Clustered Production Environment: Deploy any number of Driven Server nodes backed by an external Elasticsearch cluster as the datastore. This topology is recommended for production environments where scalability, redundancy, and reliability are a priority.
Driven can also function when multiple machines host the Driven Server with embedded Elasticsearch datastores. The setup process for this environment is not documented.
