What are the different types of database replication for MVC apps?

There are several types of database replication for MVC applications, including master-slave, multi-master, and peer-to-peer replication. Would you like to know more about each type?

Yes, please explain master-slave replication.

In master-slave replication, one database server acts as the master, handling all write operations, while one or more slave servers replicate the master's data for read operations. This setup improves read performance and provides data redundancy.

What about multi-master replication?

Multi-master replication allows multiple database servers to act as masters, enabling them to handle write operations simultaneously. This can enhance availability and load balancing but may introduce complexity in conflict resolution.

Are there any downsides to using peer-to-peer replication?

Yes, peer-to-peer replication can lead to data conflicts since all nodes can accept writes. It requires robust conflict resolution mechanisms and can be more complex to manage.
