Basic Redundancy vs No Redundancy
Developers should implement basic redundancy when building systems that require high availability, such as web servers, databases, or critical infrastructure, to prevent single points of failure meets developers should apply no redundancy to minimize bugs, simplify updates, and streamline codebases, especially in large-scale or long-term projects where changes are frequent. Here's our take.

Basic Redundancy
Nice PickDevelopers should implement basic redundancy when building systems that require high availability, such as web servers, databases, or critical infrastructure, to prevent single points of failure
Pros
- +It is essential in scenarios where downtime is costly or unacceptable, like e-commerce platforms, financial systems, or healthcare applications, ensuring business continuity and data integrity
- +Related to: load-balancing, disaster-recovery
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
No Redundancy
Developers should apply No Redundancy to minimize bugs, simplify updates, and streamline codebases, especially in large-scale or long-term projects where changes are frequent
Pros
- +It is crucial in scenarios like refactoring legacy systems, building reusable libraries, or implementing microservices to ensure consistency and reduce technical debt
- +Related to: dry-principle, software-design-patterns
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Basic Redundancy if: You want it is essential in scenarios where downtime is costly or unacceptable, like e-commerce platforms, financial systems, or healthcare applications, ensuring business continuity and data integrity and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use No Redundancy if: You prioritize it is crucial in scenarios like refactoring legacy systems, building reusable libraries, or implementing microservices to ensure consistency and reduce technical debt over what Basic Redundancy offers.
