Eventual Consistency 101
Eventual consistency is your go-to for scaling and performance in distributed systems, but misuse it and you’ll break domain invariants faster than you can say “race condition.” Know your service boundaries, embrace “read your own write” when you need fresher data, and leverage read replicas or Change Data Capture (CDC) for reporting—just don’t forget the trade-offs.
In this talk, you’ll get real-world war stories of when eventual consistency saved the day (and when it blew up in your face), plus practical tips on data distribution, handling stale reads, and key considerations before you bet your architecture on “eventually.”
