Read-Write deployment mode in helm chart

Open kimxogus opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Our mimir-distributed helm chart deployment makes a lot of network transfer between components and caches. I had a same situation in loki, and we migrated our microservice loki to SimpleScalable mode(which is read-write mode in mimir), and our network transfer reduced a lot. I'd be happy when mimir also supports read-write deployment mode in helm. https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/references/architecture/deployment-modes/#read-write-mode

Describe the solution you'd like

Write Read Write mode in helm chart like SimpleScalable mode in loki's helm chart https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/setup/install/helm/install-scalable/

Describe alternatives you've considered

Deploying with Jsonnet Me and my coworkers are not familar with jsonnet, so we can't use jsonnet right now for production deployment.

The docs state that this is still experimental. Any updates on how much longer this will take? I also think for smaller installations, the microservice mode is a huuuuuuge pain to deploy

It would be so great if this was analogous to Loki's “Simple Scalable” deployment mode, no longer experimental and could be used with the helm chart. 🚀

Even it it's a seperate helm chart I'd be ok with given the issues I'm seeing with distributed mode.

It looks like Simple Scalable Deployment Mode was removed in #12584. That’s unfortunate. I was really looking forward to it, as it significantly reduced operational costs in Loki.
