Welcome to Confluence Tutorials. The objective of these tutorials is to provide an in-depth understanding of Confluence.
In addition to free Confluence Tutorials, we will cover common interview questions, issues, and how to’s of Confluence.
Confluence is team collaboration software. Written in Java and mainly used in corporate environments, it is developed and marketed by Atlassian. Confluence is sold as either on-premise software or as software as a service.
These core tutorials will help you to learn the fundamentals of Confluence. For an in-depth understanding and practical experience, explore "Confluence Training"
-Multiple server nodes
-A shared file system
-A database that all nodes read and write to.
-A load balancer to evenly direct requests to each node.
All nodes are active and process requests. A user will access the same node for all requests until their session times out, they log out, or a node is removed from the cluster.

are all highly available. An example of a highly available Confluence installation is shown here. With all of the above in place, the only time you should need to bring down your entire cluster is to upgrade Confluence itself. Confluence Data Center requires all nodes to be stopped to perform the upgrade. Most other maintenance can be performed by bringing down individual nodes, as nodes can leave and rejoin the cluster without disruption.
It is important to note that Confluence Data Center nodes must be able to communicate with one another with minimal latency and therefore must be located in the same physical location.
Warm failover can be achieved by syncing your Confluence data to a data center in a different geographical location and switching over in the event of a failure. This solution is not automatic, and requires manual intervention, but can provide failover in the case of a major failure in your primary data center.
Before installing Confluence, please check that you meet the minimum system requirements.
If you've chosen a package that includes add-ons such as Confluence Questions, Team Calendars or the SharePoint Connector you'll need to install these from within Confluence after setup is complete. See Finding new add-ons for how to find and install add-ons.
