What Type of Replica Nodes Are Attached to a Vultr Managed Database?

Updated on 02 October, 2025

Explains the characteristics and purpose of replica nodes in Vultr Managed Database configurations


In a Vultr Managed Database cluster, the attached replica nodes function as failover replicas to maintain high availability and ensure continuous operation in the event of a primary node failure. These replica nodes are read-only and automatically synchronize with the primary node, preserving data consistency across the cluster. Write operations occur exclusively on the primary node, while replica nodes handle read queries, helping distribute load and improve performance for read-heavy workloads.
