CAP Theorem

This article defines eventual consistency, compares it to strong consistency, and outlines the strategic trade-offs founders must consider when building scalable distributed software architectures.

NoSQL is a flexible database category designed for high scale and unstructured data, offering startups development agility and horizontal growth at the cost of traditional relational consistency.

The CAP Theorem forces founders to choose between data consistency and system availability during network failures. Understanding this trade-off is critical for building scalable, reliable startup technology.
