The immediate (working) goal and requirements of HA architecture The more immediate (and “working” goal) of an HA architecture is to bring together a combination of extensions, tools, hardware, software, etc., Load balancing : Traffic is distributed across multiple servers to prevent any one component from becoming overloaded.

Bottlenecks can occur, for example, if you have a sudden surge in traffic that your servers are not equipped to handle. You may discover that your application’s performance issues are due to CPU or bandwidth limitations, so you’ll need to reallocate some resources or invest in a more robust infrastructure.

This results in expedited query execution, reduced resource utilization, and more efficient exploitation of the available hardware resources. Reduced Resource Usage Optimizing resource-intensive queries and configurations can lead to a reduced burden on your server. Indexing is another powerful technique for query optimization.

In general terms, to achieve HA in PostgreSQL, there must be: Redundancy: To ensure data redundancy and provide continuous performance when a primary server fails, multiple copies of the database reside in replica servers. When the primary server fails, a standby server takes over as the new primary.

It simplifies infrastructure management and is the driving force behind many cloud-native applications and services. Your workloads, encapsulated in containers, can be deployed freely across different clouds or your own hardware. Because of this flexibility, businesses may choose the infrastructure that best meets their needs.

This tradeoff is unacceptable to public infrastructure providers, who need both strong security and minimal overhead. A modern commodity server can contain up to 1TB of RAM, and Lambda functions can use as little as 128MB. So you need up to 8000 functions on a server to fill the RAM (more in practice due to soft allocation).

Even if you render components on the server and hydrate them on the client, it still churns because component hydration is computationally expensive. When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware. I think JSX is great.

Lack of root access to the underlying server OS was unique – but we have found it does not hinder us in anyway.

These nodes and edges require a good amount of compute and storage which is typically distributed across a large number servers either running in the cloud or your own data center. A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable.
