Always.fast
99.99% Uptime Guaranteed
Your users expect always-on applications. Deliver with intelligent uptime monitoring across 50+ global locations, automated failover in under 3 seconds, multi-region redundancy, and zero-downtime deployments. Always.fast ensures your services never go dark.
The Problem We're Solving
Downtime costs money and trust
❌ The Old Way
- • Manual monitoring means downtime goes unnoticed for hours
- • Single-region deployments create catastrophic failure points
- • Deployment downtime windows frustrate global users
- • Failover requires manual intervention and DNS changes
- • No visibility into performance degradation before outages
✅ The Always.fast Way
- • Real-time monitoring from 50+ global locations detects issues in seconds
- • Automated failover switches traffic to healthy regions in under 3 seconds
- • Zero-downtime deployments with blue-green and canary strategies
- • Multi-region active-active architecture eliminates single points of failure
- • Predictive alerts catch degradation before users notice
How It Works
Multi-layered availability architecture
Global Monitoring
Health checks run every 30 seconds from 50+ worldwide locations. HTTP, TCP, SSL, DNS, and custom protocol monitoring detects regional outages, latency spikes, and certificate expiration before they impact users.
Smart Failover
When a region fails health checks, traffic automatically routes to healthy instances. DNS failover, anycast routing, and load balancer reconfiguration happen in under 3 seconds with zero manual intervention required.
Zero-Downtime Deploys
Deploy new code without taking your app offline. Blue-green deployments spin up new instances, health-check them, then switch traffic atomically. Canary releases gradually shift traffic to validate changes before full rollout.
Revolutionary Features
Everything you need for continuous availability
Real-Time Monitoring
Track uptime, response time, SSL certificate validity, and custom metrics from 50+ global locations. Get instant alerts via SMS, Slack, email, or PagerDuty when issues arise.
Multi-Region Redundancy
Deploy across AWS, Azure, GCP, and DigitalOcean simultaneously. If one cloud provider has an outage, traffic automatically routes to healthy regions without user impact.
Automated Failover
When failures are detected, traffic switches to healthy instances in under 3 seconds. No manual intervention, no DNS propagation delays, no downtime for your users.
Predictive Alerts
AI analyzes performance trends to detect degradation before outages occur. Get warned about rising error rates, memory leaks, and capacity limits before they cause downtime.
Uptime Dashboards
Beautiful status pages show real-time uptime metrics to your users. Transparent incident history builds trust. Public or private dashboards with custom branding included.
SLA Management
Track uptime against SLA commitments with automatic reports. Know your current month's availability, downtime minutes, and SLA compliance at a glance. Export for customer reporting.

Why You Need Always.fast
Downtime is not an option
Save Revenue
Every minute of downtime costs money. E-commerce sites lose $5,600 per minute on average. Enterprise SaaS loses customer trust. Always.fast eliminates unplanned outages that directly impact your bottom line.
Build Trust
Users expect 24/7 availability. One outage erodes months of trust. Transparent uptime reporting and consistent reliability turn users into loyal customers who recommend your service.
Sleep Better
Stop worrying about midnight outages. Automated monitoring and failover handle issues while you sleep. Get alerted only when human intervention is actually needed, not for every blip.
Meet SLAs
Enterprise contracts demand 99.9% or 99.99% uptime guarantees. Always.fast makes hitting those SLAs achievable with multi-region redundancy, instant failover, and comprehensive monitoring.
Real-World Use Cases
See how Always.fast eliminates downtime
E-Commerce Platform During Black Friday
An online retailer deployed across 5 AWS regions and 3 Azure regions with Always.fast load balancing. During Black Friday, one AWS region experienced network issues affecting 20% of requests. Automated failover redirected traffic to healthy regions in 2.8 seconds. Users never noticed - the site maintained 99.998% uptime during peak shopping hours. Zero lost sales from infrastructure issues.
Financial SaaS Zero-Downtime Compliance
A fintech platform needed 99.99% uptime for SOC2 compliance. Always.fast deployed active-active PostgreSQL replication across 3 continents with synchronous commits. When the primary datacenter lost power, reads and writes failed over to the secondary in 1.2 seconds with zero transaction loss. The entire incident was invisible to users. Compliance audit passed with 99.997% measured uptime.
Real-Time Chat Application
A messaging platform serving 2 million concurrent users deployed WebSocket servers in 12 global regions. Always.fast health checks monitored connection success rates every 10 seconds. When a Kubernetes cluster crashed, 180,000 active connections were re-routed to neighboring regions automatically. Users experienced a brief reconnection but no data loss. Average downtime per user: 0.4 seconds.
API Gateway Load Balancing
A B2B API serving 10,000 requests/second deployed multi-cloud with Always.fast intelligent routing. Geographic routing sent European traffic to EU regions, US traffic to US regions. When GCP experienced a regional outage, EU traffic automatically shifted to Azure instances with 98ms average latency increase. API uptime: 99.995%. No customer complaints during the incident.
Live Streaming Platform
A video streaming service deployed CDN origin servers in 8 regions with Always.fast health monitoring. When an origin server's disk filled up, causing 500 errors, health checks detected the failure within 15 seconds. Traffic was automatically re-routed to other origins, and engineers were alerted. The automatic scaling kicked in, provisioned new capacity, and resolved the issue. Stream viewers never buffered.
Zero-Downtime Kubernetes Deployments
A SaaS company deploys 50+ times per day using Always.fast canary releases. New pods are deployed alongside old ones, health-checked for 60 seconds, then traffic gradually shifts 10%-50%-100%. If error rates spike, the deployment auto-rolls back instantly. The team ships features continuously without deployment windows. Users never experience downtime or errors from bad deployments.
Best Practices
Maximize your uptime
Deploy Multi-Region
Never run in a single region. Deploy to at least 2-3 geographic regions to survive regional outages. Use active-active where possible, active-passive for cost savings. Always.fast handles the routing.
Test Failover Monthly
Simulate failures regularly to validate your failover works. Shut down a region on purpose and verify traffic shifts correctly. Chaos engineering prevents surprises during real incidents.
Monitor Everything
Track uptime, latency, error rates, and business metrics. Set alerts for degradation before complete outages. Always.fast's predictive alerts warn you when trends indicate impending issues.
Use Health Checks
Implement deep health checks that verify database connections, cache availability, and external dependencies. Surface-level ping checks miss most real failures. Test the full request path.
Always-On Applications
Your users deserve 100% availability. Get as close as possible.
Always.fast is part of the NextGen.fast ecosystem, bringing enterprise-grade high availability to your applications. Stop accepting downtime as inevitable - make it a rarity.
