  Distributed Systems distributed transactions amazon dynamo database scalability sharding Consistency vs. Availability Brewer's Conjecture Programming DB

  • I recently got an email from a developer about my post Thoughts on Amazon's Internal Storage System (Dynamo) which claimed that I seem to be romanticizing distributed systems that favor availability over consistency. He pointed out that although this sounds nice on paper, it places a significant burden on application developers. He is 100% right.
