For anyone dealing with databases, and especially distributed databases, I highly recommend reading the Jepsen page on consistency models: https://jepsen.io/consistency/models

It provides a dictionary of terms that we can use to have educated discussions, rather than throwing around terms like "ACID".





I love that resource and reference it fairly frequently.

There is also this [1] which Aphyr collabed on which you might find interesting if you haven’t seen it yet.
