Compute nodes are stateless, so failures are resolved in seconds by provisioning a new VM or restarting Postgres. Storage HA is achieved through three distributed components: Safekeepers replicate WAL across multiple Availability Zones, Pageservers act as fast-access disk caches with secondary replicas for failover, and cloud object storage provides 11-nines durability as the permanent data copy. This architecture makes HA a default feature across all plans, including free tiers, rather than a premium add-on. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
