Fuse ESB redundancy

[rmcavalcante]

Hi Guys,

I would like to know if there is any ready-to-use mechanism or practice to obtain redundancy with Fuse ESB.

I'm thinking about something like Master-Slave configuration.

A Slave Fuse ESB server obtains continuously all the services deployed on Master and in case of Master failure, the Slave becomes the Master.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

There exists a variety of ready to use mechanisms and practices to achieve redundancy with FUSE ESB. I've collected a few references below to start your readings. I believe the failover documentation will be of most interest to you. I would recommend using the JDBC failover architecture as you probably want to use multiple nodes for your setup. As a note, by adjusting the start level in the systems.properties file you can achieve various levels of 'hot standby' for your slave instances, which can dramatically improve their performance in coming to full service in the event of a master node going offline.

Cheers,

J
