Quorum Reads and Writes: Using a Majority Voting Mechanism (w+r>n) to Ensure Consistency in Replication
Replicating data across multiple nodes is a standard way to build databases that are resilient, scalable, and available. Replication helps systems survive hardware failures, handle traffic spikes, and serve users from different regions. The challenge is that once you have multiple copies of the same data, you must decide how reads and writes should behave…
