  1. Data replication creates multiple copies of data to ensure it is always available and resilient against failures. This means if one server goes down, others can still keep running smoothly.
  2. There are different strategies for data replication like master-slave and multi-master setups. Each one has its own benefits, especially when it comes to how they handle read and write operations.
  3. Monitoring and tuning your replication setup is essential. By keeping an eye on performance and any issues, businesses can make sure their data systems run efficiently and reliably.
