Hi everyone, My name is Emmanuel Katto. I wanted to know how can I effectively scale my CrateDB cluster for increased read and write throughput? Any recommendations on configuration or hardware?

Please share tips.

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Hi Emmanuel, your question is quite broad: you’ll probably need to provide some more info on your current situation. What you’re ingesting, what queries you’re wanting to do. at what volumes on both, the schema, what issues you’ve encountered so far, and so on. Probably nobody can give you a one size fits all answer - testing with your actual use case is the best way.
