You'd be surprised at who doesn't understand it, even working with distributed data stores. I once had a conversation with someone who claimed that spanner overcame CAP. And suggested we build it. I don't think he understood also that spanner as implemented by Google requires atomic clocks.
- databrecht 6y agoIt also doesn't really overcome CAP. As far as I understood, it just comes so close that people perceive it as a CAP system but technically it's still a CP system. Which can also be achieved without atomic clocks though nowadays: https://fauna.com/blog/consistency-without-clocks-faunadb-transaction-protocol https://fauna.com/blog/consistency-without-clocks-faunadb-tr...
