Setup replication cluster with Kubernetes

This guide is for Memgraph Community users who want to set up data replication across multiple instances. If you have a Memgraph Enterprise license, we recommend using the high availability features instead, which provide automatic failover, load balancing, and comprehensive cluster management capabilities.

Memgraph Community currently has no built-in Helm chart for replication.
Only the High Availability (Enterprise) edition provides official Helm support: Memgraph HA Helm Chart.

To deploy a replication cluster with Community edition on Kubernetes, you will need to create the manifests yourself.
A common approach is to:

1. Follow the Docker replication guide to understand the required roles, ports, and setup steps.
2. Use the Memgraph standalone Helm chart or your own Kubernetes manifests to deploy:
   • One MAIN instance
   • One or more REPLICA instances
3. Configure replication by running the appropriate Cypher commands (SET REPLICATION ROLE, REGISTER REPLICA, etc.) through a client.
