What is MySQL replication and when do I need it?

MySQL replication creates a real-time synchronized copy of your primary database on one or more replica servers. Reads are distributed to replicas (reducing primary load) while writes go to the primary. Use replication when your WordPress or e-commerce site hits MySQL bottlenecks under high read traffic, or when you need high availability (replica promotes to primary if primary fails). Set up on two Connect Quest VPS servers: configure server-id=1 on primary, enable binary logging, create a replication user, then point the replica at the primary with CHANGE MASTER TO. The HyperDB WordPress plugin transparently splits reads to replica and writes to primary. Contact Connect Quest at +91 2269711150 for multi-server architecture guidance.
