Hmm, I wonder if the app team has considered the potential latency issues with a multi-region setup. A regional instance with a local standby seems like the way to go.

Haha, I bet the application team is hoping for zero downtime. Good thing they're not asking for 99.999% uptime, or they'd have to build a whole data center underground!

Option D is overkill. Creating two read-write instances in different regions is unnecessary for this use case. B is the most efficient solution.

I agree with Celia. Having a standby instance in a different zone provides the redundancy and automatic failover that the application team needs.

Option B is the way to go! A regional instance with a standby in another zone is the perfect setup for high availability.

That's a valid point, but having a standby instance in the same region like in option B can also provide quick failover.

I disagree, I believe option A is better as it offers a read replica in another region for better fault tolerance.

I think option B is the best choice because it provides high availability within the same region.
