Estimates vary, but most reports put the average cost of unplanned database downtime at approximately $300,000 to $500,000 per hour, or $5,000 to $8,000 per minute. With so much at stake, database high availability and fault tolerance have become must-have items, but many companies just aren’t certain which one they must have.

Containers are the key technical enablers for tremendously accelerated deployment and innovation cycles. Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. In production, containers are easy to replicate.

Let’s now look at the history behind the service and the context for new innovations that make me think that. The original Dynamo paper inspired many database solutions, which are now popularly referred to as NoSQL databases. These databases trade off complex querying capabilities and consistency for scale and availability.
