It is important to learn from failures at scale. When it comes to High Availability, people not only think about failover, they also think about geographical redundancy and the use of multiple data centres. In a case study format, find out why automatic failover may or may not be the best for you, learn how others do it, and figure out how improvements in the MySQL ecosystem like semi-synchronous replication helps you grow. What about backups? A case study even cites how a site went out of business by not doing backups properly. Security is another hot topic where there is plenty that can go wrong.
