Eventual Consistency

Question

I am in the early stages of design of an application that has to be highly available and scalable. I want to use an eventual consistency data model for this for a number of

Answer 1

All systems build on distributed computing models are build on CAP and BASE. Here the main concern is If our system provides Availability and Partition Tolerance we cannot have true consistency but we can have eventual consistency.

The idea behind eventual consistency is that each node is always available to serve requests. As a trade-off, data modifications are propagated in the background to other nodes. This means that at any time the system may be inconsistent, but the data is still largely accurate.
