For most Internet apps, #EventualConsistency works fine when strict guarantees arenβt needed.
Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (#CRDTs) let independent replicas accept writes and update data without coordination.

#CaseStudy - the Man Group moved from managing one of Europe's largest MongoDB clusters to a truly #serverless architecture with #ArcticDB - no more chasing space, no more annoying upgrades - just a software library connecting directly to S3.
How do you build a high-performance database without a server? Alex Seaton breaks down the hard-won lessons from the transition:
β’ Clock drift is real
β’ Sometimes you have to redesign from scratch
β’ CRDTs are useful but very subtle things
