What is Laravel database replication strategy?

Updated May 16, 2026

Short answer

Database replication copies data from a primary database to one or more replicas for read scaling.

Deep explanation

Laravel supports read/write splitting where writes go to a master database and reads go to replicas. This improves scalability and reduces load on primary DB. However, replication lag must be handled carefully to avoid stale reads. Laravel config supports read/write connections for automatic routing.
