+1 to the use of Riak. It is great.
But if you are stuck using Postgresql or similar you put your live servers on Ephemeral instances and put one (unused otherwise) slave on EBS so you can snapshot it for backups. And you need at least 2 ephemeral systems so you have a slave to fail over to.
- joevandyk 13y agoNo need to use ebs/snapshots for backups. Use wal-e and/or pg_receivexlog. Ideally run pg_receivexlog on a server at a different provider so that if amazon cancels your account your data is up-to-the-second recoverable.
