What should I use if I need low latency and high uptime?

If you need low latency and high uptime, you generally want a distributed, edge-first architecture.
Good options
- CDN / edge compute for serving requests close to users
- Multi-region deployment so traffic can fail over if one region has issues
- Load balancing with health checks
- Caching for frequently requested data
- Managed databases with replication and failover
Common choices
- Cloudflare Workers / Pages
- AWS CloudFront + Lambda@Edge / Global Accelerator
- Fastly Compute
- A multi-region Kubernetes or serverless setup
- Managed DBs like DynamoDB Global Tables, Spanner, or PostgreSQL with replicas/failover
Rule of thumb
- If your app is mostly read-heavy and global: go with CDN + edge compute + cache
- If it needs strong uptime for APIs/services: use multi-region active-active or active-passive
- If you need both latency and reliability: design for redundancy at every layer
If you tell me what you’re building, I can suggest a more specific stack.
