One thing I've been curious about with FDB (need to find time to try this myself) is using FDB as a way to easily implement replication with consistency.

For example: You have 5 Postgres instances. You send the query "SELECT * FROM TABLE" to FDB, you want the result of this from any of the 5 Postgres's (first to return wins). When you insert, you want to insert into all 5 and make sure that all 5 have actually finished the transaction before telling the client.

Seems simple enough to implement via FDB?




I think Kafka is enough for this use case? FDB should work too but sounds like overkill.


Right, my question is more around replicating any stateful system. Isn’t Kafka not partitionable?
