Sure, but you can make geo-replication and even implement proxy for providing consistency across DC, sure it won't be that fast in terms of latency, but throughput will be the same.
- daenney 10y agoHow does this proxy that provides cross-DC consistency work? And how does it guarantee that you'll get globally consistent reads? Most cases I've seen latency can affect throughput plenty so I doubt your assertion that it won't affect throughput quite a bit. Even more so for anything that relies on TCP/IP. I'd highly recommend reading the Bigtable[0] and Spanner[1] papers first and maybe then we can have a sensible and fruitful argument.
