Failover: Automatic Backup Server Failover

Primary goes down, backup takes over. Automatically.

How It Works

All traffic → primary. Primary fails → traffic to backup. Primary recovers → traffic returns.

When to Use

Primary + hot backup
Disaster recovery
Staging as backup

Best Practices

1. Always enable health checks

2. Threshold of 2-3 failures

3. Test failover regularly
