CDS's API servers are completely stateless. They do not store anything on the fileSystem. Whith this "share-nothing" architecture, servers can be deployed as much times as reauired to support the load. Instances can be spawned and decommissioned dynamically to handle usage surges when required while keeping the cost at its lowest when the platform is underused. All you need to provide is a scalable and highly available database.

- There is no instance "master": we can update any instance CDS at any time.
- No data is stored on the FileSystem of the CDS API. User data is stored in a PostgreSQL database.
- To limit frequent SQL queries on the database, some data is stored in a Redis.
An ingenious system of variables allows to customize the build runs depending on the apps to be built and on the deployment environments.

CDS can be fully operated through its RESTful API. The API is used by the CDS's UI but also by the workers. All components speak the same language: REST.
