WAL writes are majority quorum from the primary. They are using rust & thread per-core io-uring on nvme. A new open source runtime, kimojio! github.com/Azure/kimoji.... Excited to dig into that.

They have automatic failovers of primary to read replicas (and if old primary comes back online it will come back as a read replica). Since compute nodes are stateless this is easy for them to do. A mention of ringfencing but no details on it. Video has a nice animation of this.
