iRule allows System Customization

without any Application Code Change
Challenge
1. Database replication
2. User experience

Solution
1. Read from East Coast sent
to local app/DB
pp
2. Write request sent to
remote app/DB
3. iRule checks to see if data
is replicated yet

Benefits
1. Decrease latency
2. Provide fault tolerance
