I'd like to attract your attention to this very fine document:

https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-knodel-terminology-00.html#rfc.section.1.1

Quoting from there: "Master-slave is an oppressive metaphor that will
and should never become fully detached from history."

As an alternative:
"Several options are suggested here and should be chosen based on the
pairing that is most clear in context:

Primary-secondary
Leader-follower
Active-standby
Primary-replica
Writer-reader
Coordinator-worker
Parent-helper
"

With my very best regards,
ulrike
