replicationfriendly
Replication-friendly is a term used in computing to describe software designs, data models, or protocols that ease the replication of state across multiple nodes in a distributed system. A replication-friendly approach emphasizes predictable replication behavior, resilience to failures, and minimal coordination overhead, with the goal of maintaining availability and consistency in the presence of network partitions or node outages.
Key techniques that promote replication-friendliness include idempotent operations, append-only logs, and event sourcing. These patterns enable
Architecturally, replication-friendly designs often employ log-based replication, multi-master or gossip-based propagation, and eventually consistent data views.
Common contexts for replication-friendly approaches include distributed databases, content delivery networks, and collaborative applications, as well
