Is my database cluster still highly available? All of our high availability options are offered in DigitalOcean, including 2 Replicas + 1 Arbiter, 3 Replicas and custom replica set setups. DigitalOcean does not have the concept of availability zones (AZ), so we distribute the nodes across different regions. High performance.
