Here's our take.
Master-Slave Architecture
Developers should learn this architecture when building systems that require load balancing, fault tolerance, or parallel processing, such as in database replication, distributed computing frameworks, or robotics
Master-Slave Architecture
Nice PickDevelopers should learn this architecture when building systems that require load balancing, fault tolerance, or parallel processing, such as in database replication, distributed computing frameworks, or robotics
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where a single point of control is needed to manage multiple resources efficiently, though it has been largely replaced by more modern patterns like leader-follower or primary-replica due to its non-inclusive terminology and potential single points of failure
- +Related to: distributed-systems, database-replication
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Leader-Follower Architecture

The Verdict
Use Master-Slave Architecture if: You want it is particularly useful in scenarios where a single point of control is needed to manage multiple resources efficiently, though it has been largely replaced by more modern patterns like leader-follower or primary-replica due to its non-inclusive terminology and potential single points of failure and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Leader-Follower Architecture if: You prioritize g over what Master-Slave Architecture offers.
