Operational Transformation
Nice PickDevelopers should learn OT when building real-time collaborative applications, such as text editors, code editors, or shared whiteboards, where multiple users need to edit the same content concurrently
Pros
- +It's essential for ensuring data consistency and resolving conflicts in distributed systems, as it allows operations to be applied in a way that maintains a coherent state across all clients
- +Related to: conflict-free-replicated-data-types, real-time-communication
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Merge Algorithms

The Verdict
Use Operational Transformation if: You want it's essential for ensuring data consistency and resolving conflicts in distributed systems, as it allows operations to be applied in a way that maintains a coherent state across all clients and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Merge Algorithms if: You prioritize g over what Operational Transformation offers.
