@JessTheUnstill I don’t disagree with the naming, but “active/standby” is less clear to me. Because that indicates a failover, which is not always the role of a replica.

For example, I’ve got the primary copy, failovers in active replication, then multiple query replicas that have specific functions to handle query/read processing via query direction with ProxySQL.

And having worked with Active-Active databases, I’m even less inclined with that description. Primary? Write?

Dunno. Terminology is hard.
