Not the author, or knowing of all the technical details... simplistic replication structure and redundancy/failover without an expensive or more complex RDBMS solution while still self-hosting the service.
There are still a lot of instances where you cannot use a cloud provider for your app or database.
To be honest, I'd probably lean more towards a nosql database that has in the box, relatively easy replication strategy, though that might mean 3+ db servers for good performance. (RethinkDB, MongoDB, Cassandra/ScyllaDB, Cockroach). Just depends on the budget and resources.
- PeterCorless 7y agoWell, ScyllaDB is free and open source, so that should help the budget. (Though we do have an enterprise version, base price is FREE!)
- tracker1 7y agoI'd probably reach for Scylla wherever I would consider Cassandra (or similar), though the similar bigtable/columnstore-like services in most cloud hosts is generally still going to be easier. The performance over C* is surprisingly good.
