Kubernetes High Availability For Stateful Applications

Built on synchronous replication and transparent failover for true stateful resilience
Kubernetes is often celebrated for being a self-healing platform. Pods restart on their own, workloads reschedule automatically, and the cluster absorbs small failures without drama.

Suddenly, even a few minutes of downtime matter, and teams discover that real high availability in Kubernetes is not as automatic as it sounds.
