Deploy ScyllaDB¶
This section covers deploying and configuring ScyllaDB clusters on Kubernetes.
Deployment paths¶
Supported platform (production)¶
If you are running on a supported platform, follow a reference deployment. Reference deployments are end-to-end guides that walk you through node preparation, operator configuration, and deploying a production-ready ScyllaDB cluster.
The reference deployment guides link to Before you deploy for node preparation steps — you do not need to follow those pages separately.
Generic or development cluster¶
If you want a quick development cluster on any Kubernetes distribution, use Deploy your first cluster. This guide deploys a minimal ScyllaDB cluster and is not intended for production use. For production, complete the Before you deploy steps first.
Further configuration¶
After your cluster is running, see these guides for additional setup:
Set up networking — expose ScyllaDB outside the Kubernetes cluster.
Install ScyllaDB Manager — enable automated backups, repairs, and restore.
Set up monitoring — integrate with Prometheus and Grafana.
Production checklist — verify your deployment is production-ready.
