# Clustered TypeDB (Experimental)

TypeDB server can be run as a single independent instance and as a part of a **cluster**.

This is a section dedicated to special features of clustered TypeDB.

Clustering in TypeDB 3.x is being actively developed and is currently on the **alpha stage**.

Its features and public interfaces will be improved and can be changed between releases.

Please do not use the experimental version of clustered TypeDB in production.

Please **do**:

*   use it for testing;
    
*   report bugs;
    
*   share ideas and requests;
    
*   ask questions on [Discord](https://typedb.com/discord).
    

Thank you for your interest and help!

To access clustered TypeDB versions to help us in its stabilization or to expore its features, visit [cloud.typedb.com](https://cloud.typedb.com) and create a deployment with the latest version from the **Experimental** section.

After creating a new cluster, the TypeDB Cloud dashboard will display all the required connection information.

## [](#_whats_different_in_a_clustered_deployment)What’s different in a clustered deployment?

In a single-server deployment, the data is stored on one single machine, and a client can access it only through this one server address.

In a clustered deployment, this information is replicated between a cluster of servers using the [Raft consensus algorithm](https://raft.github.io/raft.pdf). The users can perform operations across multiple replicas:

*   a primary replica (serves strongly consistent operations),
    
*   one or more secondary replicas (can serve eventually consistent idempotent operations and be used for failover).
