Exchange server accepts or rejects meeting requests. There's no offline room reservation so it's pretty simple.

- bootsmann 1y agoPresumably exchange server is not a single node?
- immibis 1y agoThen it does whatever is needed to make it safe. For example, it might use a hash ring to assign each meeting room to a single node, and that node processes one request at a time. Most distributed systems are like this. A traditional database funnels all your data changes down to one leader node which then accepts or rejects them, and (if A+C in the case of single node failure is desired) makes sure the data is replicated to follower nodes before accepting. A distributed database is similar but different pieces of data can be on different leaders and different follower sets. This comment was rate-limited.
