Chapter 5. Configuring high availability in Red Hat Developer Hub


High availability (HA) is a system design approach that ensures a service remains continuously accessible, even during failures of individual components, by eliminating single points of failure. It introduces redundancy and failover mechanisms to minimize downtime and maintain operational continuity.

Red Hat Developer Hub supports HA deployments on the following platforms:

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
  • Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Elastic Kubernetes Service

The HA deployments enable more resilient and reliable service availability across supported environments.

In a single instance deployment, if a failure occurs, whether due to software crashes, hardware issues, or other unexpected disruptions, it would make the entire service unavailable, interrupting development workflows and access to key resources.

With HA enabled, you can scale the number of backend replicas to introduce redundancy. This setup ensures that if one pod or component fails, others continue to serve requests without disruption. The built-in load balancer manages ingress traffic and distributes the load across the available pods. Meanwhile, the RHDH backend manages concurrent requests and resolves resource-level conflicts effectively.

As an administrator, you can configure high availability by adjusting replica values in your configuration file:

  • If you installed using the Operator, configure the replica values in your Backstage custom resource.
  • If you used the Helm chart, set the replica values in the Helm configuration.

5.1. Configuring High availability in a Red Hat Developer Hub Operator deployment

RHDH instances that are deployed with the Operator use configurations in the Backstage custom resource. In the Backstage custom resource, the default value for the replicas field is 1. If you want to configure your RHDH instance for high availability, you must set replicas to a value greater than 1.

Procedure

  • In your Backstage custom resource, set replicas to a value greater than 1. For example:

    apiVersion: rhdh.redhat.com/v1alpha3
    kind: Backstage
    metadata:
      name: <your_yaml_file>
    spec:
      deployment:
        patch:
          spec:
            ...
            replicas: <replicas_value> 
    1
    
            ...
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Set the number of replicas based on the number of backup instances that you want to configure.

5.2. Configuring high availability in a Red Hat Developer Hub Helm chart deployment

When you are deploying Developer Hub using the Helm chart, you must set replicas to a value greater than 1 in your Helm chart. The default value for replicas is 1.

Procedure

To configure your Developer Hub Helm chart for high availability, complete the following step:

  • In your Helm chart configuration file, set replicas to a value greater than 1. For example:

    upstream:
      backstage:
        replicas: <replicas_value> 
    1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Set the number of replicas based on the number of backup instances that you want to configure.
