Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. If a primary server fails, a backup server can take over and continue to serve requests.

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and others each have unique strengths and weaknesses and should be evaluated based on factors such as scalability, compatibility, performance, security, data types, community support, licensing rules, compliance, and, of course, the all-important learning curve if your choice is new to you.
