Architecture Under Pressure: How CAP/PACELC Trade-offs Impact the Technology Choice

Systems analysts have to explain to stakeholders why it's impossible to simultaneously achieve the ideal properties of a distributed system. In our previous talk at AnalystDays #21, we explored approaches to constraining CAP in disaster scenarios. This time, I propose reflecting on and structuring an approach to analysing PACELC constraints in normal operating scenarios.

You'll learn how these tradeoffs impact data consistency requirements, the choice of architectural patterns, and technology limitations.

This talk will help you better justify design decisions and anticipate the business impact of architectural choices.
