Eventual consistency is a consistency model used in distributed computing that ensures that, given enough time and no new updates, all copies of a data item will converge to the same value. This concept allows for temporary inconsistencies between replicas in a distributed system while guaranteeing that, eventually, all nodes will reflect the latest update. It balances the trade-offs between availability and consistency, making it essential for systems that prioritize performance and scalability over immediate data accuracy.
congrats on reading the definition of eventual consistency. now let's actually learn it.
