Operations Overview - CefasDB Docs

Documentation excerpt

Operating CefasDB means managing data directories, configuration, identity, backups, metrics, logs, traces, raft membership, benchmark evidence, and upgrades. The database is a single binary, but production safety comes from the surrounding discipline.

Pin binary or image versions. Use persistent storage for the data directory. Enable authentication outside trusted development networks. Scrape metrics. Keep logs centralized. Test backup and restore. Test restart and failover behavior, and verify the consistency model under leader loss. Document the active deployment mode. Keep benchmark results tied to reproducible commands and deployment shape.

The data directory contains the durable database state. In Docker and Kubernetes it must be mounted on persistent storage. In raft mode, raft state also needs stable storage.

CefasDB accepts flags, environment variables, and YAML config. The practical order is:
