To anyone who also thought that the article ended prematurely: you can click each consistency model in the graph that appears in the beginning of the article. At least on mobile, that was not obvious to me.

Otherwise, this is a really good survey!


Interesting high level look at consistency, concurrency and availability models. Quite a decent explanation of the same, useful as a "cheat sheet", so to say, when studying such things. After all, the map at the top, once the concepts are understood, should be enough to act as a guide in analyzing a system of your own, be it a student, such as myself, or someone who needs a quick refresher.


Nice article!

Interesting readers can find an extended diagram in [1] page A:7.
