This seemingly simple scenario highlights a fundamental concept in distributed systems: the CAP theorem. Before we dive deeper into trade-offs and debates regarding the CAP theorem let's first understand what CAP stands for: consistency: consistency in CAP theorem(different than the consistency in ACID) stands for the guarantee that the read receives the most recent write.
