It is very common to see many infrastructure layers standing between a PostgreSQL database and the Application server. We often forget or take for granted the network hops involved and the additional overhead it creates on the overall performance. But let’s see what the wait events look like if the network slows down.

MySQL does not limit the number of slaves that you can connect to the master server in a replication topology. If the data churn on the master is high, the serving of binary logs alone could saturate the network interface of the master. Ripple is an open source binlog server developed by Pavel Ivanov.
