I think the defeatism comes from practicality. I'm at a 30 person IT org trying to do distributed systems and eventual consistency. Dont take on complexity unless you have to. And eventual consistency requires a LOT of scale before it becomes a have too.
- delusional 2y agoI dont think it's necessarily a question of scale. Where I work, we have a lost of strategic partnerships, and all those partners have their own it systems with their own master data. It's intractable to enforce strong consistency between all of these disparate systems that don't speak to one another, and you expressly dont want to take the whole substrate offline when a single parter has a network issue. The best you can do is really eventual consistency.
- from-nibly 2y agoI guess im talking about internal eventual consistency. Im not arguing against using amother system outside your own single instance database.
