So in this case, do I needs to setup two nodes for HAProxy as well, to load balance MYSQL Cluster?
Re:Don't ever use Digital Ocean as your production System. on Sunday May 11, 2014 @09:00AM (#7728588)
Yes, lesson learn from us.. We do have a scripts to auto cut over our Slave to Master DB once it detect our Master DB "death"..

Guess it's best to setup Master to Master replication..

I do agree, We do setup for HA, but due to some bugs on our end, the cut over from our DB Slave to Master didn't happen. Will be more careful next time.

Don't ever use Digital Ocean as your production System.

Here's reply from Twilio CSR

Your points are sound, and I understand that especially for customers with high volume use cases, relying on the pricing CSV file would not remove the costs of sudden price changes and would pose an the obstacle to the pro-active re-routing of traffic.

I've shared all of your comments with our product team, and I'll let you know as soon as I have more information concerning potential pricing change notifications. This would be a major change in the way that we price our Global SMS service, but I hope to be able to pass along some comments from our team by the beginning of next week.

We appreciate your thoughts about our SMS service and our pricing. I'll provide an update as soon as I can."
