Thanks for the shoutout, Saurabh. I liked this overview of the most common strategies. I haven't had (yet) the chance to work on a high-availability system, but I've implemented load balancing and rate-limiting even in smaller apps. I also did autoscaling, but not manually, but as part of AWS.

I think you've already used the most popular strategies :)

Also, availability is usually achieved over time as your system evolves based on demand. All of the super high availability systems probably started as small-scale systems with just a few users...

Hi Saurabh, you newsletters are enlightening.

I'd request you to also share more extensive resources for in-depth research for example video series or some books or courses that you recommend

There are domains where failures are not an option and we need 100% uptime with resilient disaster recovery in place. Great article my friend Saurabh!
