Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.

Unfortunately, using certain open source database software as part of an HA architecture can present significant challenges. Despite all its upside, PostgreSQL software presents such challenges. Downtime due to SPOFs can also be attributed to bottlenecks from architectures designed for applications instead of databases.

Challenges of Multi-Cloud Although multi-cloud has its benefits, it also presents some obstacles. Like ScaleGrid’s offerings for multi-cloud architecture compatibility, its solutions are well-suited for use within a single cloud provider or a hybrid cloud setup as well. One downside of the hybrid cloud is related to downtime.

The main reason behind this is that MySQL is a relational database system (RDBMS), and any data that is going to be written in it must respect the RDBMS rules. In short, any data that is written must be consistent with the data present. In this common case, we do not need to implement a full sharding system such as Vitess.
