Designed with High Availability in mind. We designed the framework to minimize database impact. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low. Dumps can be taken any time, via a provided API.

Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively.
