more capable, and built from the ground up for the modern era of the eBPF virtual machine. eBPF was created by Alexei Starovoitov while at PLUMgrid (he's now at Facebook) as a generic in-kernel virtual machine, with software defined networks as the primary use case. It's shaping up to be a DTrace version 2.0: eBPF does more.

Proof of Concept: Horizontal Write Scaling for MySQL With Kubernetes Operator

In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write; as such, the number of writes is NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated. Because the solutions still rely on writing in one single node that works as Primary.
