YugabyteDB for Python (Django) app can achieve high availability (HA) and handle a cloud outage. To demonstrate this, we will simulate an outage in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) on one of the Yugabyte database nodes to see how YugabyteDB handles the downtime.
The evolution of “build once, run anywhere” containers and Kubernetes—a cloud-agnostic, declarative-driven orchestration API—have made a scalable, self-service platform layer a reality. Even though it is not a one size fits all solution, a majority of business and technical challenges are being addressed. Kubernetes as the common denominator gives scalability, resiliency, and agility to internet-scale applications on various clouds in a predictable, consistent manner. But what good is application layer scalability if the data is still confined to a single vertically scalable server that can’t exceed a predefined limit?
