Database replication can usually be achieved via master/slave replication (side note - nowadays, it's usually referred to as primary/secondary replication).

A master database generally only supports writes. Slave databases store copies of the data from the master & only support read operations.
This setup works well for most applications as there's usually a higher write to read ratio. Reads can easily be scaled by adding more slave instances.
