ACID / BASE/Eventual Consistency
Kind: tension
Record: tension:acid-base-eventual-consistency
Canonical: Schema
"acid" (atomic-boundary layer) is traded against "BASE/Eventual Consistency" (atomic-boundary layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "BASE/Eventual Consistency" and choosing an explicit operating point.
Listed in Tensions, after ACID / Distributed Availability and before Transaction Boundary / Large Transaction Scope.
