When AWS is failing over RDS PG there is def nonetrivial downtime
- matwood 8y agoAnd? You think running your own database is going to have better uptime and scalability than something like Aurora? If something like DB HA is important, I think it's much easier in AWS for a company with a smaller engineering department.
- qaq 8y agoI am just pointing out that no downtime applies to failing over very specific services. In general AWS had pretty horrible track record on outages. A single top tier DC has way better uptime vs AWS Region.
- scarface74 8y agoAn AWS region or an AWS availability zone? You should always make everything multi-AZ whenever feasible.
- qaq 8y agoRegion. The multi Region thing is partial BS too if US East has a total failure there is not enough spare capacity to absorb all of US East compute in other Regions.
