How do I choose a consistency model for my application?

What factors should I consider when choosing a consistency model for my application?

You should consider factors like data accuracy, availability, performance, and the specific use case of your application.

Can you explain the difference between strong and eventual consistency?

Strong consistency ensures that all reads return the most recent write, while eventual consistency allows for temporary discrepancies.

Which consistency model is best for a real-time collaborative application?

For real-time collaboration, eventual consistency is often preferred as it allows for better performance and availability.

Are there any trade-offs I should be aware of?

Yes, trade-offs include balancing between consistency and availability, as well as potential latency issues with strong consistency.
