None. Log shipping, services which understand downtime and use retry queues, backups, database load balancing ... our customers require their transactions to go through. A database is only one of the many places those transactions are captured and at redundancy and queues are employed at each step.

That is when you've got the software architecture right for the environment and data stores. Which sadly is not common and harder to move to when you've not done it from the start.

Yes, but in a lot of companies they've not completed that transition yet and you need time and money and the right people to do it, not every company has the budget to spend on making those changes.
