Types of service tiers

Dataproc Metastore uses service tiers to manage stability and workloads. You can select a tier when you create a Dataproc Metastore service or change it for an existing service.

There are two types of service tiers:

  • Developer: The Developer tier is typically used for low-cost proof-of-concept projects. This tier provides limited scalability and no fault tolerance.

  • Enterprise: The Enterprise tier is typically used for production projects. This tier provides flexible scalability, fault tolerance, and multi-zone high availability. It can handle heavy Dataproc Metastore workloads.

By default, new Dataproc Metastore services are created with the Developer tier.
