Abstract
In an approach for balancing latency and consistency requirements during data replication, a processor defines a set of strategies representative of different types of inconsistencies between a first database and a second database, wherein the different types of inconsistencies vary with respect to details of a particular replication technology. A processor specifies a latency threshold at which a first type of inconsistency is allowed, based on user input of business information to enhance business value, wherein the type of inconsistency is selected from the set of strategies. A processor determines that a requested replication crosses the latency threshold. A processor pushes data into a target database, wherein latency is dynamically balanced with data consistency, based on the latency threshold.
