Replication with MySQL
MySQL replication works based on master-slave architecture. From group of MySQL servers, one server acts as a master and other servers work as slave server. All write operations are performed on the master server while read operations are performed on any of the slave servers. Connection between master and slave servers is done based on the configuration. In coming topics we will learn different configuration for synchronizing master and slave databases.
Benefits of replication in MySQL 8
Let's quickly look at a few benefits of MySQL 8 replication.
Scalable applications
As we said earlier, replication shares load between master and slave databases. So, now amount of activity for the database has been reduced. Master will only perform write operation and will not be worried about the read operations, while slaves will only be taking care of read operation without worrying about write operations. This mechanism actually makes the MySQL to perform faster. Also, it is easy...
