Presentation: "Exploiting Loopholes in CAP"

Time: Thursday 10:30 - 11:20

Location: Grand Ballroom A

Abstract:
By now, we've all learned the summary version of CAP: choose at most two from "Consistency", "Availability", and "Partition-tolerance." It's usually framed as a binary choice between C and A, with P as the unavoidable reality. Exploring CAP at a deeper level, though, we'll find several loopholes that you can use to engineer practical, real-world systems with desirable features. After this talk, you'll know how to use your domain knowledge to make thoughtful choices in your distributed systems.
