Agreed. Sure, you can expand it with PACELC, but the important part is that you have something which starts the conversation/thinking about the fact that distributed systems have specific requirements and challenges. And CAP is sufficient for that.
- throw0101d 3y agoTIL: > In theoretical computer science, the PACELC theorem is an extension to the CAP theorem. It states that in case of network partitioning (P) in a distributed computer system, one has to choose between availability (A) and consistency (C) (as per the CAP theorem), but else (E), even when the system is running normally in the absence of partitions, one has to choose between latency (L) and loss of consistency (C). * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACELC_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACELC_theorem
