Redundant Systems vs Active-Passive Architecture

Developers should learn and implement redundant systems when building mission-critical applications, such as financial services, healthcare systems, or e-commerce platforms, where downtime can lead to significant financial or safety risks meets 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. Here's our take.

Redundant Systems

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and implement redundant systems when building mission-critical applications, such as financial services, healthcare systems, or e-commerce platforms, where downtime can lead to significant financial or safety risks

Pros

  • +It is essential for ensuring business continuity, meeting service-level agreements (SLAs), and enhancing user trust by providing consistent and resilient services
  • +Related to: disaster-recovery, load-balancing

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

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
