}Database Scaling Strategies
Read Replica Architecture
Copy
Master (Write):
- All INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations
- Message creation, user updates
- Channel management, file uploads
Read Replicas (5x):
- Message history queries
- User profile lookups
- Channel member lists
- Search queries
- Analytics queries
Write Operations: → Master
Read Operations: → Read Replicas (Round Robin) Database Sharding Strategy
