Geo-Redundancy

Synchronous Replication

To summarize:

• Start small, but delegate early - RDS instances are cheap! • Scale your reads, but do not forget your primary’s HA • RDS multi-AZ has limited health checks, plan failure around

them as well. • EC2 instance provides more flexibility minus convenient RDS

features • HA solutions for asynchronous replication is available • Percona XtraDB Cluster (Galera based) for multi location
