A common question that I get is why do we offer so many database products? To do this, they need to be able to use multiple databases and data models within the same application. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

There is no way to model how much more traffic you can send to that system before it exceeds it’s SLA.

However it’s very difficult to decide what the right SLA is, or to tell how close you are to exceeding it.
