I prefer the follower option. It’s simpler to manage.

A follower database could also be useful. Redundancy is key.

I think A could work too, followers help with load.

I think creating a fork of the database sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if it really helps with outages like this. It might just complicate things.

I feel like migrating to a larger Standard-tier plan might just be a temporary fix. We practiced a similar question where redundancy was key.

I'm a bit unsure about the Premium-tier plan. I think it offers better reliability, but I can't recall if it's necessary for all situations.

I remember we discussed the importance of having a follower database to improve availability, so I think option A could be a good choice.

Based on my understanding, I'd go with the follower database and Premium-tier plan. The follower provides redundancy, and the Premium tier should have better infrastructure and support to prevent outages.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards the follower database and larger Standard-tier plan. The follower gives you a backup, and scaling up the main database could help handle the load better.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between the options. Is a follower database the same as a fork? And how do the Standard and Premium plans differ in terms of outage mitigation?

I think I'd recommend creating a follower database and migrating to a Premium-tier plan. The follower would provide redundancy, and the Premium plan should offer better reliability.
