Thanks for pointing out the ambiguous bits - I’ll clean it up in the next few days.

Yes it does solve the double spend - it let’s you mark (check box) a collection with a SPOT property (single point of truth) which restricts the number of edge region that collection is replicated across. Additionally the spot collection is replicated across two separate data centers (and separate availability zones in those data centers) to provide high availability. The developer doesn’t need to deal with the complexity of where and how this is done - they continue to access the collection like a regular one and the DB will redirect the queries (and do things like joins) between the regular and spot collection.

I’m writing a faq and will include your questions there.

Jepsen is in the plans - we hope to get a report out in the summer.
