ADVPERF04-BP03 Review your distributed database setup (sharding and replication) for performance, cost, and availability needs
Customers need to consider tradeoffs between performance, cost, and availability needs, while using features like sharding for scaling and replication for availability requirements.
Implementation guidance
Use availability zone affinity in Aerospike to allow client applications to access Aerospike nodes in the same zone, which optimizes data transfer across zones.
Distributed databases often support data partitioning or sharding, which allows you to split your data across multiple nodes or clusters. This can help distribute the load and optimize cost by reducing the need for high-performance instances or storage solutions for the entire dataset.
Carefully plan your data replication strategy across Availability Zones. While replication provides high availability and durability, replicating data across multiple Availability Zones can increase costs. Consider replicating only the essential data or implementing read replicas in different Availability Zones while keeping the primary node in a single Availability Zone.
