మీరు డేటాబేసులను ఎలా స్కేల్ చేస్తారు?

REPLICATION → maintain COPIES of the database across servers:
  → PRIMARY (writes) + REPLICAS (copies):
    - READ SCALING → direct reads to replicas (offload the primary) → handle more reads
    - AVAILABILITY → a replica can take over if the primary fails (failover)
  ⚠️ replication lag → replicas may be slightly behind (eventual consistency for reads)
→ great for READ-heavy workloads and availability (most apps are read-heavy)
