Abstract: A computer-implemented method for performing fast failovers may include 1) identifying an application to fail over from a first computing system to a second computing system, 2) identifying a first component of the application to fail over, the first component depending on a second component of the application and a third component of the application, the second component and third component being mutually independent, and 3) failing the application over from the first computing system to the second computing system by, based on a determination that the second component and third component are mutually independent, (i) taking the second component offline on the first computing system after taking the first component offline on the first computing system and (ii) taking the third component offline on the first computing system while bringing the second component online on the second computing system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
