Why Read/Write Separation Belongs in the Service Layer, Not Just the Database

The article explains that database read/write separation offers limited performance gains and mainly serves data safety, while true scalability for read operations comes from caching and server clusters, and that write operations require a single dedicated server and actor‑model programming for safe concurrency.
