To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.

In fact, before we even had the word microservices in our lexicon, back when it was just good old-fashioned service-oriented architecture, we were talking about data: how to access it, where it lives, who “owns” it. All too often, the software wasn’t designed in a way that made it easy to ship. And data was at the heart of the problem.
