The comparison is not equivalent.
- cutemonster 6y agoAgreed, I think the comparison is not equivalent, because a read replica actually is the same database application (same "monolith") just started with different parameters, to behave as a replica
- scarface74 6y agoThe database is the same but you have to then separate your code into reader and writer services with different connection strings, you have to make sure that anything that can’t be eventually consistent uses the writer connection string, etc. It’s not just a matter of spinning up a database. Also, since many enterprise apps live stores procedures and putting business logic in the database, that’s another ball of wax you have to untangle.
