34. Synchronous Replication

35. To summarize:
• Start small, but delegate early - RDS instances are cheap!
• Scale your reads, but do not forget your primary’s HA
• RDS multi-AZ has limited health checks, plan failure around
them as well.
• EC2 instance provides more flexibility minus convenient RDS
features
• HA solutions for asynchronous replication is available
• Percona XtraDB Cluster (Galera based) for multi location
