CRDTs Illustrated
CRDTs (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types) are a great way to implement applications that gracefully recover from partitions - such as clusters or (mobile) applications that can work offline.
This talk will:
- Introduce the concept of CRDTs and their use cases
- Describe the 2 main ways to implement a CRDT (convergent and commutative), with visual examples to illustrate their behavior
- Show 2 examples of CRDTs used in practice (RIAK 2 Data Types (distributed storage) and swarm.js (offline-friendly web apps))
