High Availability
Standby database node with automatic failover for stricter uptime requirements.
Standby Node
Synchronous Streaming Replication
A second database node maintains a continuously-synchronized copy of your tenant database. Writes are acknowledged on both nodes before completing, so the standby is always current.
Automatic Failover
On primary-node failure, the standby is promoted automatically. Connections fail over without manual intervention; in-flight transactions retry transparently.
Independent Maintenance
Patching and minor-version upgrades happen on the standby first. The primary follows once the standby is healthy, with zero downtime to your users.
When to enable
Strict Uptime SLA
Choose HA when your business commitments require named-uptime targets — typically 99.95% or better measured monthly.
Regulated Industries
Some regulators require demonstrable failover capability for systems-of-record. The HA add-on meets that bar.
Mission-Critical Operations
For tenants whose field operations cannot pause for a database restart — dispatch fleets, 24/7 logistics, time-sensitive compliance.
What you don't get
Not a Geographic DR Solution
HA covers single-node failure within the managed-database cluster. It is not a multi-region disaster-recovery solution. For multi-region resilience, contact us for an enterprise discussion.
Not a Backup Replacement
A standby node replicates corruption as faithfully as it replicates writes. The Daily Backups capability is your protection against accidental data loss; HA is your protection against hardware failure.
