Demystifying redundancy and failover architecture ☁️

Managing infrastructure availability across compute, storage, and network layers can be a constant grind. It is easy to get lost in the trade-offs of how applications scale versus how databases run when a region failover happens.

Upsun handles redundancy and failover directly inside your region. Here is how it impacts your deployment workflow:

  • Handles redundancy across compute, storage, and network layers
  • Keeps stateless apps scaling flatly
  • Runs databases as a single instance within the regional boundary

Check out the full technical write-up to see how these layers work together:
