Consistency in Distributed Systems
published on 2023/11/26
There are numerous consistency patterns in distributed systems. The choice of the consistency pattern depends on the system requirements and use cases because each consistency pattern has its benefits and drawbacks 4. Consistency patterns must be at the crux of multi-data center system architecture as it’s non-trivial to maintain consistency across multiple data centers. The consistency patterns can be broadly categorized as follows 5, 4, 6, 2:
- strong consistency
- eventual consistency
- weak consistency
