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.

Martin Kleppmann is a distributed systems researcher at the University of Cambridge, and author of the acclaimed O'Reilly book Designing Data-Intensive Applications.
