Replicated State Machines
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about Replicated State Machines when building or working with distributed systems that require strong consistency, such as financial transaction systems, distributed databases (e
Pros
- +g
- +Related to: distributed-systems, consensus-algorithms
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Eventual Consistency
Developers should learn and use eventual consistency when building distributed systems that require high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability, such as in cloud-based applications, content delivery networks, or social media platforms
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where low-latency read operations are critical, and temporary data inconsistencies are acceptable, such as in caching layers, session management, or real-time analytics
- +Related to: distributed-systems, consistency-models
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Replicated State Machines if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Eventual Consistency if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in scenarios where low-latency read operations are critical, and temporary data inconsistencies are acceptable, such as in caching layers, session management, or real-time analytics over what Replicated State Machines offers.
