 ## High Availability
-For HA, it's recommended that you run at least 3 members.

-Automatic failovers will only consider members residing within your primary region.  The primary region is represented as an environment variable defined within the `fly.toml` file.  That being said, if you're running a 3 member setup at least 2 of your members should reside within your primary region.

-We start out evaluating the cluster state by checking each registered standby for connectivity and asking who their primary is.
