Here's our take.

Master-Slave

Nice Pick

Developers should learn this concept when working with systems requiring high availability, data redundancy, or scalable performance, such as in database clusters (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: database-replication, distributed-systems

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Primary-Replica

Developers should learn and use Primary-Replica when building scalable applications that require high read throughput and data redundancy, such as e-commerce platforms or content delivery networks

Pros

• It is essential for systems where downtime is unacceptable, as replicas can take over if the primary fails, ensuring continuous service availability
• Related to: database-replication, high-availability

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Master-Slave if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Primary-Replica if: You prioritize it is essential for systems where downtime is unacceptable, as replicas can take over if the primary fails, ensuring continuous service availability over what Master-Slave offers.

The Bottom Line

Master-Slave wins

Developers should learn this concept when working with systems requiring high availability, data redundancy, or scalable performance, such as in database clusters (e
