Test common incorrect explanations against definitions, conservation rules and evidence.
This extension applies that lens specifically to Distributed Systems.
Distributed Systems
Distributed components communicate by messages, experience partial failures and cannot rely on one global clock. Replication and consensus trade availability, consistency and latency.
