What is Active-Active architecture?

Active-Active architecture is a type of system design that allows for the simultaneous use of multiple redundant servers or data centers to provide continuous availability and fault tolerance. In an active-active configuration, multiple servers or data centers are actively serving traffic or processing requests at the same time, rather than having one server or data center as a backup or standby. This design ensures that, in the event of a failure in one server or data center, the workload can be quickly and seamlessly transferred to another without interruption to service. Active-active architecture is commonly used in high-availability, mission-critical applications such as e-commerce or financial services.
