## Architecture Patterns

### Deployment Patterns

1. **Active-Active** (Primary Choice)
   - All regions serve traffic
   - Zero downtime during regional failures
   - Low latency for global users
   - Load distribution across regions

2. **Active-Passive** (Alternative)
   - Primary + standby regions
   - Simpler to implement
   - Faster failover
   - Lower operational costs

3. **Multi-Active** (Advanced)
   - Multiple primary regions
   - Best for global scale
   - Complex conflict resolution
   - Highest availability
