We've been running into some database performance issues. The CPU credits on our database RDS instance are depleting at a rapid rate. To stabilize things I decided to launch a read replica to help take some of the strain off of the master database.
To do this we'll need to install and configure HyperDB so we can tell WordPress where to direct READ queries and where to direct WRITE queries.
