Point To Point Data Replication

Point-to-point data replication is a data synchronization method that involves the direct and dedicated transfer of data between two specific endpoints in a distributed system. This process ensures that the data at the destination is an exact and up-to-date copy of the data at the source. Advanced implementations of point-to-point data replication may include features such as real-time change data capture (CDC), which monitors and logs every change made in the source database and synchronizes these changes to the destination in near real-time. This method is particularly useful for maintaining data consistency, improving data availability, and supporting disaster recovery strategies. However, it can become complex and difficult to manage as the number of integrated systems increases, requiring careful planning and robust error handling mechanisms to ensure reliability and performance.
