Recently I wrote a short snippet about setting up a new replica and the challenges that come with it. As promised, I published the long form of the snippet and shared it through my newsletter.

✨ Here’s what in it

  • How new Replica is set up
  • How a Replica keeps track of the Replication
  • How point-in-time snapshot helps in Replication
  • How does a Replica catch up with the Master?
  • Is it possible for a Replica never to catch the Master?
  • How to troubleshoot high replication lag

✨ The link to the essay is in the comments.
