The fuck are you doing that a Mac Mini needs failover? At that point, dear lord have mercy on that dev team and whatever horrible ideas management have pushed.

Paying a team of iOS developers $150/hr to create apps. The Mac Mini is their CI/CD server - if it goes down then they're toast. A team costing $1,500/hr sits idle because I'm too cheap to pay $25.99/day to keep them productive? That doesn't make any sense.
