Architecture

Overview

Cloud UI

The web user interface of CrateDB Cloud is served from a single domain console.cratedb.cloud. The DNS record of this domain is a collection of CNAME records with a geolocation routing policy. This means that traffic from different parts of the world are statically routed to different regions where the Cloud UI and the Cloud API are served from.

The routing default - in case the location of the user does not match with any of the locations (continents) provided in the CNAME record - is bregenz.a1.cratedb.cloud.

Additionally to the global domain console.cratedb.cloud each region still serves the UI and API from its region domain.
