There's lots of information here:
https://mariadb.com/blog-tags/high-availability
The basic options for databases are:
- single write master, multiple read-only replicas
- single write which is also single read, with a standby replica
that can be substituted in case of a disaster
- multiple read/write replicas available simultaneously, but
performance is often slower because they all need to
coordinate potential conflicts
- multiple read/write replicas with "sharding", so conflicts are
less likely
- and then there are combinations of the above.
The information you have given is insufficient to tell which
scenario is happening.
