Created comprehensive HA roadmap with 6 phases:
- Phase 1: Warm standby (CURRENT - manual failover)
- Phase 2: Database replication
- Phase 3: Health monitoring
- Phase 4: Reverse proxy + floating IP
- Phase 5: Automated failover
- Phase 6: Geographic redundancy
Includes:
- Decision gates based on capital and stability
- Cost-benefit analysis
- Scripts for healthcheck, failover, DB sync
- Recommendation to defer full HA until capital > $5k
Secondary server ready at 72.62.39.24 for emergency manual failover.
Related: User concern about system uptime, but full HA complexity
not justified at current scale (~$600 capital). Revisit in Q1 2026.
