Operating EntDB

EntDB runs as a single-node transactional SQL engine.

Runtime boundaries

You can configure:

  • max concurrent connections,
  • max statement size,
  • per-query timeout,
  • auth policy (md5 or scram-sha-256),
  • optional TLS transport.

Deployment basics

  • Keep --data-path on durable storage.
  • Use different data paths for dev/stage/prod.
  • Keep auth enabled outside local development.
  • Use TLS for non-local traffic.

Lifecycle behavior

  • Clean shutdown flushes dirty pages and transaction metadata.
  • Restart replays recovery before serving queries.

What to monitor

  • query latency and error rate,
  • transaction conflict rate,
  • WAL flush latency,
  • buffer pool pressure.
