Serengeti
The Autonomous Distributed Database
Zero-configuration distributed database that manages itself
Database Management, Simplified
Serengeti revolutionizes distributed databases with a truly autonomous system that requires zero configuration or management. Simply start Serengeti on any machines within the same subnet, and watch as they automatically discover each other and create a fully functional distributed database.
Why Serengeti?
⚡ Zero Configuration
No complex setup, no manual cluster management, no tedious replication configuration
🔄 Self-Organizing
Automatic peer discovery and data replication across the network
🛡️ Self-Healing
Automatic failure detection and data redistribution without human intervention
📊 Simple Management
Intuitive web dashboard for database and table management
Key Features
Automatic Peer Discovery
When a Serengeti node starts, it immediately scans the subnet for other instances. Once peers are identified, nodes automatically establish connections and begin replicating data.
Self-Healing Architecture
The system continuously monitors node health and automatically adjusts replication strategy as nodes join or leave. When a node fails, other nodes wait for a brief recovery period before redistributing data across the network.
Intuitive Web Interface
Connect to the dashboard at http://<node_ip>:1985/dashboard
to manage your distributed database. Create and manage databases, tables, and data without understanding the underlying distributed system complexities.

What Our Users Say
“Serengeti has completely transformed how we approach distributed data storage. Before implementing Serengeti, we spent countless hours configuring and maintaining our distributed database cluster. With Serengeti, we simply deploy it on our machines, and it handles everything automatically. It’s reduced our operational overhead by at least 70% while significantly improving system reliability.”

How It Works
1. Deploy & Discover
Start Serengeti on any number of machines on the same subnet. Each instance automatically discovers and connects to others.
2. Automatic Replication
Data is automatically replicated across the network. New nodes immediately receive existing database structure and data.
3. Self-Healing
Node failures are automatically detected. After a brief recovery period, data is redistributed to maintain availability.
4. Simple Management
Use the web dashboard to create databases, tables, and manage data without complex configuration.
