Categorizing How Distributed Databases Utilize Consensus Algorithms (medium.com)
Distributed databases generally fall into two camps when it comes to architectures for maintaining high availability (HA) [1]. Both architectures are used by many successful production systems, but each has very different trade-offs. I couldn’t find anyone who had studied these trade-offs, which is what motivated this article. I don’t know of standard/well-known names for the two HA approaches, so I’m going to refer to them as “Consensus for Metadata” (CfM) and “Consensus for Data” (CfD).
