Data Replication Strategies
1 Synchronous Replication
Data is simultaneously written to all replicas. It ensures strong
consistency but may impact performance due to increased latency.

2 Asynchronous Replication
Changes are propagated to replicas after the primary write
completes. It offers better performance but may lead to temporary
inconsistencies.

3 Master-Slave vs. Multi-Master

Master-slave designates one node for writes. Multi-master allows
writes to any node, increasing complexity but improving write
performance.
Data Consistency Models
Strong Consistency
All replicas reflect the most recent write. It provides a simple programming model but
can impact availability and latency.

Eventual Consistency
Replicas converge over time. It offers high availability and low latency but may return
stale data temporarily.

Causal Consistency
Ensures that causally related operations are seen in the same order by all nodes. It
balances consistency and performance.

Trade-offs
Choosing a consistency model involves balancing data integrity, system performance,
and application requirements in distributed environments.
CAP Theorem Explained

Consistency
All nodes see the same data at the same time. It ensures data integrity but may impact
availability.

Availability
Every request receives a response, without guarantee of it containing the most recent
version of the information.

Partition Tolerance
The system continues to operate despite arbitrary partitioning due to network failures. It's
crucial for distributed systems.
