Article 1Choosing the Right Database: CAP Theorem and Practical Use CasesTLDR: Database selection is a trade-off between consistency, availability, and scalability. By using the CAP Theorem as a compass and matching your data access patterns to the right storage engine (Re7 min
Article 2Azure Cosmos DB Consistency Levels Explained: Strong, Bounded Staleness, Session, Consistent Prefix, and EventualTLDR: Cosmos DB offers five consistency levels — Strong, Bounded Staleness, Session, Consistent Prefix, Eventual — each with precise, non-obvious internal mechanics. Session does not mean HTTP session25 minArticle 3Understanding Consistency Patterns: An In-Depth AnalysisTLDR
TLDR: Consistency is about whether all nodes in a distributed system show the same data at the same time. Strong consistency gives correctness but costs latency. Eventual consistency gives speed13 minArticle 4BASE Theorem Explained: How it Stands Against ACIDTLDR
TLDR: ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) is the gold standard for banking. BASE (Basically Available, Soft state, Eventual consistency) is the standard for social media. BASE i14 min
