Abstract
Techniques for implementing application fault tolerance via battery-backed replication of volatile state are provided. In one set of embodiments, a primary host system can detect a failure that causes an application of the primary host system to stop running. In response to detecting the failure, the primary host system can replicate volatile state that is used by the application to a secondary host system, where the secondary host system maintains a copy of the application, and where execution of the application is failed over to the copy on the secondary host system using the replicated volatile state.
