Abstract
A method for operating a multi-master database includes defining a database cluster having a plurality of databases. Each database is assigned to a corresponding geographic region. Read/write requests originating from a user are assigned to a database with the same corresponding geographic region as the user. The database cluster defines a schema including defined relationships between data records stored in the database cluster such that each data record stored in the database cluster is within a data cluster. Each data cluster includes a single parent data record replicated in each database of the database cluster. Each data cluster defines a single master database of the plurality of databases. The single master database is the database originating the single parent data record.
