    | Consistent reads trade offs • BEFORE puts burden on readers • Better when #writes > #reads • E.g. – Ensure that critical transaction observes fresh data on a secondary – Take an fresh snapshot from a secondary • AFTER puts burden on writers • Better when #reads > #writes • E.g. – Infrequent write pays for frequent reads to see fresh data – Load balance reads to fresh data 58
