Cloud Replication vs Local Replication

Developers should learn and implement cloud replication when building applications requiring high availability, data resilience, or global accessibility, such as e-commerce platforms, financial systems, or content delivery networks meets developers should learn and use local replication when building systems that require data resilience, such as financial applications, e-commerce platforms, or critical infrastructure where downtime is unacceptable. Here's our take.
