FireSwarm

FireSwarm is a multi-master replication system for clustering databases running under the Avalerion builds of Firebird 3 and higher on Windows. The cluster architecture is "share-nothing", an environment in which copies of a database are distributed across multiple Avalerion host machines, each using its own resources, to provide scalability and high availability.

A cluster consists of two or more Avalerion servers, usually running on separate physical systems. Each member of the cluster is referred to as a "node". A node comprises an Avalerion server running with its CDC module and an instance of the FireSwarm distribution agent to handle replication traffic to and from other nodes.

The "share-nothing" architecture is what its name implies: nodes share neither physical resources (memory, storage) nor data dependencies.

FireSwarm will run on Microsoft Windows 8+ and Linux (GLIBC 2.17+ and libstdc++ 6.0.21+).
