Intro to Database Systems
Synchronous replication is a data management technique where data is copied to a secondary storage location at the same time it is written to the primary storage. This process ensures that both the primary and secondary data sources remain consistent, offering high data availability and protection against data loss. It plays a critical role in strategies for data fragmentation and replication, ensuring that transactions are mirrored in real-time across distributed systems.
congrats on reading the definition of synchronous replication. now let's actually learn it.
