MariaDB Galera Cluster: insert rate vs network latency

For our use case, the nodes of the cluster will be in different datacenters. When a record is written to MariaDB's Galera Cluster, it is replicated to all the nodes before an acknowledgment is made to the client. This is great for consistency, but not so great for throughput.

It was important for us to understand the relationship between network latency and throughput. If the network latency were to spike in one of the datacenters, what would happen how many writes could we perform from a single connection?

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the video, very helpful!
