CRDTs and the Quest for Distributed Consistency
43:38
Summary
Martin Kleppmann explores how to ensure data consistency in distributed systems, especially in systems that don't have an authoritative leader. He explains how to sync data between a phone and a laptop without sending it via a remote server. He also explores algorithms that allow several people to collaborate on a shared document, communicating via a peer-to-peer network.
