Creating a Hazelcast Database

This page covers the configuration specific to Hazelcast — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.

Database Mode

Select the topology under Database Mode:

  • Combined — A single pool of members forming one Hazelcast cluster. Best for most deployments.
  • Topology — Role-separated member tiers, each scaled and resourced independently.
