Active-Active

Active-Active Architecture

Definition

Active-active is a high-availability architecture where multiple instances or regions simultaneously serve live traffic. Unlike active-passive, there is no idle standby — all nodes share the load.

Active-active improves throughput and reduces latency through geographic distribution, but requires data synchronization between all active nodes, which increases complexity.
