Honestly, it's a really really good article that talked about replication. I saw several articles then I can tell you, this article is the best than others.

Solid info, even a few years later. Thanks!

one of the best articles I have ever read, I do not usually read long articles but this one I just enjoyed it!

Great article and for free :O, thank you

Thank you very much for spending time to write this awesome article (y)

very informative, thank you for taking the time to write it so well!

Awesome article. You make a complex topic easily understandable whilst keeping the detail

Man, this is an amazing read! I had to post about it: https://www.facebook.com/ah...

Great article, ever thought about CosmosDB? I'm not a cosmosDB expert, but it presents itself as a global, worldwide database.

Great article, I'd be really interested in how you view NewSQL approaches within this context.. In particular Google Spanner and CockroachDB.

Thanks for putting this article together, will definitely be referring others to it on some of the challenges of setting up a distributed database layer.

Good article!

Btw, you mentioned PostgreSQL and few other technologies, but I think it is important to mention the Galera replication for MySQL here, and it's approach to CAP. You'll find interesting quorum implementation (P,A), virtually-synchronous replication (C), automatic recovery (A), etc. An example doc: http://galeracluster.com/do...

Great article, thank you!

Very nice writeup! I particularly like how you keep your explanations simple e.g., in your explanation of CAP.

Awesome read. Thanks.

Typo "start topology" -> "star topology"
