minus-square@xmunklink2•4 months agoThe naming isn’t great still… I usually use ReadWrite instance and replica. I really wish we had some more concise replacement terms.

Wikipedia suggests: Other replacement names include controller, default, director, host, initiator, leader, manager, primary, principal, root; and for slave: agent, client, device, performer, peripheral, replica, responder, satellite, secondary, subordinate, and worker. I usually use controller / worker if it’s a local process or controller / remote if the subordinates are on different hosts.
