This sounds like a write-back / write-through cache with extra terminology. What's the difference?

The difference is the 10,000x slower performance if you move the actual DB transaction leader for the shard to over-the-wire access.

Anything can be anywhere if we ignore latency and throughput.

I'm not saying that. I'm asking if this is just new terminology for a previous technology idea, or whether it's a new concept.
