Context
The environment used multiple data technologies with different availability, recovery, performance and support expectations.
A representative estate where different applications required different database platforms and resilience patterns rather than one standardized answer.
The environment used multiple data technologies with different availability, recovery, performance and support expectations.
Standardizing every workload onto one architecture would have hidden real differences in transaction behavior, recovery method, operational tooling and team skills.
Oracle RAC/Data Guard, SQL Server availability/log-shipping patterns, PostgreSQL replication/repmgr and Redis replication/sentinel-style operating models were treated according to each workload’s role.
The estate gained clearer architecture ownership, consistent operating controls and runbooks while preserving platform-specific HA/DR behavior where it mattered.
Architecture decisions reflected workload behavior, recovery objectives, operational ownership and the capabilities already present across the estate.
If your estate spans multiple database platforms, share the ownership model, availability requirements and operational pain points. We can help define a cleaner architecture and control model.
