At large-scale organizations where a system of record (SOR) is kept in relational databases, database replication is commonly used to provide read-only copies for resilience and performance purposes. Most data queries are directed to replicated databases in an effort to relieve the load from primary database servers.
Due to inherent replication delays, returning up-to-date information to customers is a significant challenge.
Our framework, Beacon, was conceived and delivered in response to the obstacle of guaranteeing up-to-date information to customers with intelligent routing of services to either read-only replicas or primary data servers.
