Recently I was engaged in a MySQL Performance Audit for a customer to help troubleshoot performance issues that led to downtime during periods of high traffic on their AWS RDS MySQL instances. The innodb_io_capacity_max parameter was set to 2000, so the hardware should be able to deliver that many IOPS without major issues.

With all the resources we have today, it is easier for us to achieve fault-tolerance than it was many decades ago when computers began playing a role in critical systems such as health care, air traffic control and financial market systems. It was not until the mid-nineties that software fault-tolerance became more acceptable.
