Synchronization Architecture

  • Hello,
    We want to synchronize several calendars with a WordPress Plugin (like Airbnb, Axpedia and Booking.com =
    What is the best architecture (star or matrix)?
    That is to say to centralize around Google Calendar for example or to synchronize 1 to 1.
    Thank you

    You should avoid the need to keep data in sync. IMO it’s better to get the pertinent data from the original source as it’s needed. There are often APIs you can use to get current, live data without needing to save it elsewhere and needing to keep it in sync. In some cases it may make sense to cache data for a period of time. While there are similarities, caching is not the same as syncing. There is no illusion that cached data is authoritative, it’s merely close enough for the moment.

    You’d then aggregate the data from various sources so it can be presented in one place.
