Configuration
- Cloud platform You can deploy your project on either AWS or Google Cloud, depending on your cloud provider preferences.
- Region You can choose the availability region closest to you to minimize latency.
- Project name Name of the project. Assigning a descriptive name to each project can be helpful when managing multiple projects.
- Node configuration Configure each node’s instance resources and numbers according to your actual needs. To learn more about the nodes, see the architecture of RisingWave.
Understanding nodes in RisingWave
RisingWave projects consist of three types of nodes, each serving a distinct role:- Compute node: Responsible for ingesting data from upstream systems, parsing and running SQL queries, and delivering data to downstream systems.
- Frontend node: Responsible for parsing and validating queries, optimizing query execution plans, and delivering query results.
- Compactor node: Handles data storage and retrieval from object storage. They also perform data compaction to optimize storage efficiency.
- Meta node: Takes charge of managing the metadata of compute and compactor nodes and orchestrating operations across the system.
- ETCD: A distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data across a project of machines. This node cannot be scaled manually after the project is created.
