Brewer posited that a distributed system cannot achieve Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance simultaneously.

| What a great book Designing Data-Intensive Applications is! It covers databases and distributed systems in clear language, great detail and without any fluff. I particularly like that the author Martin Kleppmann knows the theory very well, but also seems to have a lot of practical experience of the types of systems he describes. There is...
