Zendesk's Approach to Database Redundancy

Learn about Zendesk's automated backup system for database redundancy, ensuring minimal downtime and high reliability.

How does Zendesk handle database redundancy?

Zendesk handles database redundancy through a system of primary and secondary database servers within each pod. Each database cluster contains a primary server and two secondary servers that continuously mirror the primary. If the primary server encounters a problem, one of the secondary servers immediately takes over, minimizing downtime. This automated backup system ensures that Zendesk Support remains reliable and available to users.
