Yeah, DB replication and caching would be a pain in this scenario. Akamai cache busting is challenging enough in complex cases.
I can also imagine how you can have localized datasets with a centralized auth database, for instance. That way, you have something akin to sharding of the dataset to bring real-time functionality closer to a global user-base. For example, you can have an edge game server with a local state serving 20-30 players close to their physical location.
I wouldn't recommend this for 99% of web development tho.
