Anyone else feel super-conservative about databases? It's such a critical piece of infrastructure, the last thing you want is for it to fail... I'm using Aurora MySQL but am interested in alternatives. I can't bring myself to use them out of bug paranoia.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoMy stance on clustered databases is that you replace hardware risk with software risk. So they make sense if they get you better throughput or better uptime stats, but you've still got to plan for a software bug bringing down the whole thing.
