Vultr Managed Database clusters support only a single primary (write) node. All write operations must go through this primary node to ensure data consistency. To scale read operations and improve query performance, you can add multiple read-only replica nodes. These replicas maintain a near real-time copy of the primary node and can handle read traffic, reducing the load on the primary node without affecting write operations.
