High Availability

📘

Subscription Information

This feature is supported on the Self-Hosted platform, with an Enterprise X or Enterprise+ license.

You can configure JFrog services for High Availability (HA) with a cluster of two or more nodes on the same Local Area Network (LAN).

For full resilience and no-downtime upgrades, use a minimum of three nodes:

• A three-node cluster provides true HA — if one node fails or is taken down for maintenance, the remaining two nodes continue to share load and provide availability.
• A three-node cluster is required for no-downtime upgrades.

⚠️

Artifactory Database Requirements for High Availability

You must use an external database connected to Artifactory to use high availability. You cannot use high availability with the in-built Derby database.

The following sections describe the benefits of High Availability.

Optimal Resilience

Maximize uptime. If one or more nodes are unavailable or down for upgrade, the remaining nodes share the load, ensuring optimal resilience and uptime.

Improved Performance with Load Balancing

Scale your environment with as many nodes as needed. All cluster nodes in an HA configuration are synchronized and share the workload. When a node becomes unavailable, the cluster automatically spreads the workload across the remaining nodes.

Managed Heavy Loads

Accommodate larger load bursts with no compromise to performance. With horizontal server scalability, you can easily increase your capacity to meet any load requirements as your organization grows.

Always Synchronized

Data, configurations, cached objects, and scheduled job changes are synchronized seamlessly across all cluster nodes.
