A note about eventual consistency - Part 2
Revisiting a massively misunderstood topic

In the previous post we discussed what eventual consistency actually means and why we sometimes need to favor eventual consistency over strong consistency. We also saw that most of the time we will not perceive any differences between eventual and strong consistency if set up properly. The differences only become apparent if the system encounters adverse conditions like, e.g., a network partition, loss of a node, or alike.
