Abstract
Application service configuration of a timeframe for performing dataloss failover (failover that does not attempt full data replication to the secondary data store) from a primary data store to the secondary data store. A data-tier service, such as perhaps a database as a service (or DBaaS), could receive that configuration from the application service and automatically perform the dataloss failover as configured by the application service. This relieves the application service from having to manage the failover workflow while still allowing the application service to appropriately balance the timing of dataloss failover, which will depend on a very application-specific optimal balance between the negative effects of operational latency versus dataloss.
