Friendly Intro To the CAP Theorem (Consistency vs Availability vs Partition Tolerance)
The CAP theorem is a useful principle in distributed systems that illustrates some of the difficult tradeoffs that distributed systems have to make. However, it has somehow solidified itself as the E = MC^2 of the software engineering world: a cool piece of jargon that many people know and rattle off during interviews to sound smart and knowledgeable, even when it’s not relevant. As it turns out, the CAP theorem is not an incredibly advanced concept that only the most engineers can comprehend. It’s fairly intuitive, and I’ll explain why in this video. Let’s go!
