CAP theorem defines three guarantees in distributed systems: consistency , availability , and partition tolerance, with the constraint that only two can be fully satisfied during a network partition. In real-world architectures, partition tolerance is unavoidable, which forces systems to choose betw

Consistency is one of the foundational concerns when designing distributed systems. It answers the question:when a client reads data, how fresh or correct should that data be compared to the most recent write?Different applications have different tolerances for stale or conflicting data. This articl
