In my day to day, I'm surrounded by great database engineers. They talk about things like HA and raft protocol and the right and wrong approach for configuring synchronous vs. asynchronous replication.

What follows is a summary of conversations I've had with customers on how to think about key tenants of database management: high availability and disaster recovery.
