What changed

The disaster recovery overview jumped from GreptimeDB Standalone straight to the cross-region topologies. Missing was the tier most production clusters actually run: a single cluster inside one region, tolerating the loss of a node or of a single AZ through Region Failover.

This adds that section to the overview in both locales, plus a matching row in the solution comparison table.

How it is written

The section follows the shape of DR Solution Based on Cross-Region Deployment in a Single Cluster, so the two read as one family:

  • Same AZ definition as that page: a data center, or a compartment of one. The section therefore covers both a single data center and multiple AZs in one region.
  • The same Latencies: and Supports High Availability: lists.
  • Per-component roles: stateless Frontend replicas, Metasrv replicas plus the external metadata backend it does not replicate for you, Datanode with Region Failover, and Kafka plus object storage as the state that outlives the node.
  • The conditions the targets depend on: Region Failover is disabled by default, the surviving Datanodes need spare capacity, and the recovery time is dominated by WAL replay.

Facts are taken from the existing pages on Region Failover, WAL and metadata management. The latency list does not repeat the example millisecond values from the cross-region page, since there are no measured single-region numbers to quote.

Diagram

New static/Single-region-single-cluster.svg, drawn in the same style as static/img/active-active-forwarding.svg (Arial, #6f6fff, title/desc for accessibility) and shared by both locales like the other DR images.

Scope

Nightly only: docs/ and the Chinese current/ tree. Backporting to v1.2 can follow separately.

Checks

  • DOC_LANG=en pnpm check:links passes
  • DOC_LANG=zh pnpm check:links passes, including the new image path and the Chinese anchors
  • git diff --check clean; no lockfile or generated files touched

The disaster recovery overview jumped from GreptimeDB Standalone straight
to the cross-region topologies, leaving out the tier most production
clusters actually run: a single cluster inside one region, tolerating the
loss of a node or of a single AZ through Region Failover.

Add that section to the overview in both locales, following the shape of
the cross-region page (AZ definition, Latencies, Supports High
Availability), and add a matching row to the solution comparison table.
The section states the conditions the RPO and RTO targets depend on:
Region Failover is disabled by default, the surviving Datanodes need
spare capacity, and the recovery time is dominated by WAL replay.

Add Single-region-single-cluster.svg for the section, drawn in the same
style as the existing hand-authored SVG diagrams.
