Middleware-based Database Replication: The Gaps Between Theory and Practice

Summary: Characterizes the gap between academic replication theory and industrial practice in performance, availability, and administration, using open-source, academic, and Fortune 500 case studies. Proposes academia- and industry-specific agendas to bridge this gap within 5–10 years. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
