Where a high availability design once worked well, it can no longer keep up with more complex requirements. No single point of failure (SPOF): If the failure of a database infrastructure component could cause downtime, that component is considered an SPOF.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. For services, the gains were even more impressive. Conclusion If any of this piques your interest, reach out to us!
