How can I troubleshoot replication latency issues?

I'm experiencing high latency in my database replication. What should I check first?

First, check the network connection between your primary and replica databases. High latency can often be caused by network issues.

What specific network issues should I look for?

Look for packet loss, high latency, or bandwidth limitations. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to diagnose these.

If the network is fine, what else could be causing the latency?

If the network is fine, check the load on both the primary and replica databases. High load can slow down replication.

Are there any configuration settings I should review?

Yes, review your replication settings, such as the replication delay and batch size. Adjusting these can help improve performance.
