Serengeti - The Autonomous Distributed Database

This software application proves the potential for an autonomous distributed database system.

Serengeti runs on any machine through the JVM and requires zero configuration or management to setup or maintain.

Simply start Serengeti on any number of machines on a controlled network where each machine is a member of the same subnet. Each instance will automatically connect to each other and create a distributed database.

Data will be replicated across the network and when a new node joins, it will automatically be given the existing databases and tables layout along with all replication information.

If one of the instances dies, the other nodes will check back and wait for a short recovery before reallocating the database pieces that were on that node to other nodes across the network.

How do I interact with it?

Once Serengeti is running, you simply connect to http://<localhost_or_node_ip>:1985/dashboard to get going.
