Typically, the servers are configured in a primary/replica configuration, with one server designated as the primary server that handles all incoming requests and the others designated as replica servers that monitor the primary and take over its workload if it fails. This flexibility can be crucial in designing a scalable architecture.

In short, any data that is written must be consistent with the data present. MySQL, as well as other RDBMS, are designed to work respecting the model and cannot scale in any way by fragmenting and distributing a schema, so what can be done to scale? This action is something that can affect very large datasets and be very expensive.

Load balancing: Load balancers distribute traffic evenly across multiple servers or data centers. In DR, load balancers route traffic to the secondary data center when a failover occurs. If carbon monoxide or other dangerous gasses were present, the gasses would kill the canary, signaling the miners to leave the tunnels immediately.

For example, if the device is a firewall, it might be configured to block all traffic containing (unknown) extensions.

While this is conceptually possible (QUIC does exactly that), things were initially not designed like this, because we need to be able to use TCP with and without TLS on top. Luckily, QUIC was designed with TLS in mind from the start, and as such does combine both the transport and cryptographic handshakes in a single mechanism.
