Well, sort of. With this architecture (not using a real database) it is fairly easy to save the state to S3, every minute. I don't have an automated way to rebuild the server in case of failure yet, but this is coming as part of https://t1mr.com
It should soon be possible to recover automatically, in a different data center, in matter of minutes. That's tolerable for me.
Was about to say that. For certain applications you cant tolerate data loss, so there is no one size fits all solution. For most content heavy apps, the simplest option works good enough.

How do you protect against single point of failure and total data loss? Do you do frequent offsite backups?
