For most Internet apps, #EventualConsistency works fine when strict guarantees aren’t needed.

Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (#CRDTs) let independent replicas accept writes and update data without coordination.

Dealing with #EventualConsistency, and Causal Consistency using Predictable Identifiers

@eric tweeted yesterday about the ‘itchy’ concept of #EventualConsistency, it’s ‘itchy’ because in the beginning the Word was Codd and ‘its aye been that way’, but it’s aye been that way is a poor reason to do anything. Rules are for the protection of the inexperienced, & the guidance of the experienced. Much to think about, and much to learn.
Still, if you are learning, you ain’t dead, yet. #php #database

Proposing to implement a distributed system without considering things such as #CAP, Transactions, #EventualConsistency or even...error handling! 🤦 🤦‍♂️

They are probably even unaware of the fact that it is a distributed system in the first place.

What has happened to our #society that even basic fundamentals are turned a blind eye on!?

I'm literally scared...

#PostTruth

Do you believe in eventual consistency?

Very interesting talk by @susannebraun about eventual vs strict data consistency at #QConLondon

In times when distributed systems are (becoming) the norm, #ACID in it's original form as a promise for data consistency has indeed mostly outlived its usefulness.
