Active-Passive Architecture vs Active-Active Architecture
Developers should learn and use Active-Passive Architecture when building systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks meets developers should implement active-active architecture for mission-critical applications requiring minimal downtime, such as e-commerce platforms, financial services, or global web services, to ensure continuous availability during peak loads or regional outages. Here's our take.
Active-Passive Architecture
Developers should learn and use Active-Passive Architecture when building systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks
Active-Passive Architecture
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Active-Passive Architecture when building systems that require high availability and reliability, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks

Active-Active Architecture
Developers should implement Active-Active Architecture for mission-critical applications requiring minimal downtime, such as e-commerce platforms, financial services, or global web services, to ensure continuous availability during peak loads or regional outages
Pros
- +It is essential for scaling horizontally to handle high traffic volumes and improving disaster recovery by eliminating single points of failure
- +Related to: high-availability, load-balancing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Active-Passive Architecture if: You want it is particularly valuable in scenarios with strict uptime requirements (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Active-Active Architecture if: You prioritize it is essential for scaling horizontally to handle high traffic volumes and improving disaster recovery by eliminating single points of failure over what Active-Passive Architecture offers.
