High availability
The platform is designed to keep running through everyday failures
without manual intervention.
Self-healing
Thanks to orchestration on Kubernetes, every component is continuously
monitored. If one stops responding or fails:
- The platform restarts or replaces it automatically.
- Traffic is redirected to healthy instances in the meantime.
No operator needs to be on standby to recover from an isolated component
failure.
Scaling
The platform scales your application's resources based on load, within
agreed limits, to maintain performance during usage peaks.
Zero-downtime deployments
Changes and updates are applied via progressive replacement: new
versions roll out gradually while previous ones keep serving traffic, so
there's no perceptible cutover. See
Deployments and changes.
Beyond everyday failures
For serious scenarios (not a single component, but an entire environment),
the response is disaster recovery based on
separate backups and reproducible rebuilding.
Pending validation
The availability commitments (uptime percentage) applicable to your
service are set out in your service contract.
