Local Redundancy vs Cloud Redundancy
Developers should implement Local Redundancy when building systems that demand high uptime, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms, where even brief outages can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks meets developers should learn and implement cloud redundancy when building mission-critical applications, such as e-commerce platforms, financial services, or healthcare systems, where downtime or data loss can have severe consequences. Here's our take.
Local Redundancy
Developers should implement Local Redundancy when building systems that demand high uptime, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms, where even brief outages can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks
Local Redundancy
Nice PickDevelopers should implement Local Redundancy when building systems that demand high uptime, such as financial services, healthcare applications, or e-commerce platforms, where even brief outages can lead to significant revenue loss or safety risks
Pros
- +It is especially crucial in on-premises or private cloud environments where geographic redundancy might be impractical or too costly, providing a cost-effective way to enhance reliability without relying on external data centers
- +Related to: high-availability, disaster-recovery
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Cloud Redundancy
Developers should learn and implement cloud redundancy when building mission-critical applications, such as e-commerce platforms, financial services, or healthcare systems, where downtime or data loss can have severe consequences
Pros
- +It is essential for ensuring business continuity, meeting service-level agreements (SLAs), and complying with regulatory requirements for data protection and availability
- +Related to: cloud-computing, aws-availability-zones
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Local Redundancy if: You want it is especially crucial in on-premises or private cloud environments where geographic redundancy might be impractical or too costly, providing a cost-effective way to enhance reliability without relying on external data centers and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Cloud Redundancy if: You prioritize it is essential for ensuring business continuity, meeting service-level agreements (slas), and complying with regulatory requirements for data protection and availability over what Local Redundancy offers.
