Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS) supports bidirectional synchronization, which allows data to be synchronized in both directions between the source and destination databases. This means that any changes made in either database are reflected in the other, ensuring that both databases remain up-to-date and consistent with each other. This feature is particularly beneficial for scenarios requiring high availability or disaster recovery, as it allows for seamless operations across multiple locations.

Bidirectional synchronization also addresses use cases where both databases may be actively used for read and write operations, enabling businesses to maintain data integrity and flow between systems without downtime.

Other synchronization types, such as one-way synchronization, would only allow data to flow in one direction, which is not suitable for environments needing real-time two-way data exchange. Similarly, peer-to-peer synchronization and network synchronization pertain to different paradigms or techniques that do not directly align with the core functionalities provided by Alibaba Cloud DTS.
