Technology for Distributed Contexts

| | Gregor Hohpe's - ACID in the new world - Associative (i.e. no ordering constraints) - Commutative (also abt removing constraints) - Idempotent (enabling at-least-once delivery) - Distributed. Old ACID: predictive & accurate. New ACID: flexible & redundant. Thanks @emileifrem |
