title: How to have AWS RDS synchronous read replication?
body: <p>For AWS RDS there are 2 way to create a &quot;clone&quot; of your DB :</p>
  <p>1/ Read replica : Create a read replica, data is asynchronous, meaning there's a little delay</p>
  <p>2/ Multi-AZ standby : Create a standby DB, data is synchronous, meaning it's exactly same all the time; but this is for fail-over and cannot be used unless main DB down.</p>
  <p>So the &quot;synchronous&quot; ability is there already, but I don't find any option to have a synchronous read only replica.</p>
  <p>For my case, I want to have read replica to reduce read load on main DB, but data is very sensitive so cannot afford to read old data at all, any suggestion for my case here with AWS RDS service ? like making the &quot;standby&quot; being readable.</p>
