Comprehensive monitoring and health checks for all cluster components.
Database Integration
Seamless PostgreSQL integration with ACID transaction support.
High Availability
Automatic failover and recovery with minimal downtime.
System Components
RALE Daemon (raled)
Core consensus engine that manages distributed state and coordinates cluster operations.
Key Features
RALE Controller (ralectrl)
Management interface for cluster administration and monitoring operations.
Key Features
Database Integration
PostgreSQL integration layer for persistent storage and transaction coordination.
Key Features
Network Layer
High-performance networking for inter-node communication and consensus.
Key Features
Consensus Architecture
RALE implements a distributed consensus protocol that ensures consistency and coordination across all cluster nodes.
Leader Node
Coordinates consensus decisions and manages cluster state
Follower Nodes
Participate in consensus and maintain replica state
PostgreSQL Backend
Persistent storage with ACID transaction guarantees
PostgreSQL Integration Benefits
ACID Compliance
RALE leverages PostgreSQL's proven ACID transaction model to ensure data consistency and reliability.
- • Atomic operations across all nodes
- • Consistent state replication
- • Isolation of concurrent operations
- • Durable storage guarantees
High Performance
Optimized for high-throughput consensus operations with minimal latency overhead.
- • Sub-millisecond consensus decisions
- • Optimized network protocols
- • Efficient state synchronization
- • Minimal resource overhead
