Asynchronous Replication: Speed and Availability at Scale
Learn how asynchronous replication works in distributed databases, including eventual consistency implications, lag monitoring, and practical use cases where speed outweighs strict consistency.
CRDTs: Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types
Learn how CRDTs enable strongly consistent eventual consistency in distributed databases. Explore G-Counters, PN-Counters, LWW-Registers, OR-Sets, and practical applications.
Multi-Paxos
Multi-Paxos extends basic Paxos to achieve consensus on sequences of values, enabling practical replicated state machines for distributed systems and databases.
Paxos Consensus Algorithm
Paxos is a family of consensus algorithms for achieving agreement in distributed systems despite failures, pioneered by Leslie Lamport.
Raft Consensus Algorithm
Raft is a consensus algorithm designed to be understandable, decomposing the problem into leader election, log replication, and safety.
Synchronous Replication: Guaranteeing Data Consistency Across Nodes
Explore synchronous replication patterns in distributed databases. Learn about the write-ahead log shipping, Quorum-based replication, and how synchronous replication ensures zero RPO in production systems.
View-Stamped Replication
View-Stamped Replication (VSR) is a distributed consensus protocol that uses views and timestamps to achieve agreement in asynchronous systems.
Database Replication: Master-Slave and Failover Patterns
Database replication explained: master-slave, multi-master, synchronous vs asynchronous strategies, failover patterns, and consistency.
