Multi Leader Replication
Explore the concept of multi-leader replication where multiple nodes handle writes and replicate changes asynchronously across distributed datacenters. Learn how this strategy optimizes performance, handles network issues, and provides resilience against datacenter failures in distributed systems.
We'll cover the following...
In contrast to single-leader replication, allowing multiple nodes to accept writes is known as multileader replication or active/active or master-master replication. Each node processing a write must forward the change to all other nodes, thus a leader in this scenario is also simultaneously a follower.
One of the use cases of multileader replication is when a distributed system has data spread across multiple datacenters which are geographically distant from each other. Such an architecture is usually employed to move data closer to the users or be able to withstand failure of an entire datacenter. Additionally, with single ...
