So, the CAP theorem helps you decide what's most important for your system when things get tough: having everyone see the same data, keeping the system working, or handling problems in the network. You can't have all three perfect at once, so you need to choose what fits best for what you're building.
Consistency | Availability | Partition Tolerance |
---|---|---|
everyone see same data | keep the system working | handling problems in network |
network failure is a critical piece in CAP theorem
