What is the best way to process raw data?

Question

PHP

There is a server that receives "raw" data, a lot of "raw" data, they are immediately partially processed, in general, back. And the second server under front. It is necessary to process this data and give it to the user. What is the best way to implement this?
There is an idea to set up master<->master replication and prepare reports at the front. By crown? Triggers? How correct will it be?

Answer 1

In general, you should use a queue server instead of cron to service pending requests.

Answer 2

It largely depends on the data format and the meaning of the word "raw".
