Deploy#
Strata ships four deployment shapes. Each sub-page follows the same template — Prerequisites → Install → Configure → Verify → Monitor → Troubleshoot — so you can scan them side by side.
| Shape | When to pick it | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Single-node | Lab, dev, single-tenant pilot. One gateway against memory or Cassandra metadata + memory or RADOS data. | Single-node |
| Docker Compose | The bundled reference stack — TiKV-default 2-replica lab, profile-gated Cassandra regression lab, profile-gated tracing collector. | Docker Compose |
| Multi-replica | ≥2 gateway replicas behind a load balancer against shared TiKV / RADOS storage. | Multi-replica |
| Kubernetes | 3-replica Deployment + Service + Ingress against external TiKV + RADOS. Raw manifests under deploy/k8s/ plus a Helm chart under deploy/helm/strata/. | Kubernetes |
