When you scale horizontally from day one, it usually gives fault tolerance for online service, and this story is not very friendly in case of vertically scaled PG.
- tempest_ 6mo agoScaling vertically does not mean you cant have fault tolerance and I feel like your comment just makes my point.
- andriy_koval 6mo agoMy point is that in PG, fault tolerance requires untrivial investments. If you pick horizontally scalable DB (foundationdb, cocroachdb, scylladb, tidb, etc) they all give you fault tolerance for free without much involvement from your side, because it is part of the nature of those DBs.
