Picking the right data-sharing topologies

To understand the scenarios under which each of these topologies should be used, let us look at the pros and cons of each data-sharing method.

In-place sharing

Here are the pros and cons of in-place sharing:

Pros	Cons
Real-time data-sharing	Prone to network latency and heavy payload-related performance issues
No data duplication	Direct access to source data needs higher security monitoring and complex policies

Table 13.2 – Pros and cons of in-place sharing

The following are ideal scenarios for using in-place sharing:

• Real-time access that needs the most recent version of the data
• Small or medium-sized reference data (exploratory data analysis or EDA; real-time APIs)
• The source and target are in the same or neighboring...
