CAP

On September 3, 2018 in software-development • 1 minute read

In theoretical computer science, the CAP theorem states that it is impossible for a distributed computer system to simultaneously provide all three of the following guarantees:

• Consistency (all nodes see the same data at the same time)
• Availability (a guarantee that every request receives a response about whether it succeeded or failed)
• Partition tolerance (the system continues to operate despite arbitrary partitioning due to network failures)
