We don't coddle our machines. In the event of a hardware or network failure, we automatically and aggressively fail over.

We exercise this ability daily, with no downtime, on customer databases as we ship changes and do version upgrades. In fact, no machine in our fleet lives longer than 29 days.

Swing by the PlanetScale booth if you're at Rails Conf this week!
