Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types

Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are specialized data structures designed for collaborative systems where multiple users can update data simultaneously across different devices or locations. They enable these updates to be merged automatically and consistently without conflicts, even when occurring out of order or offline. CRDTs ensure that all copies of the data eventually become identical, maintaining consistency and integrity across all nodes, making them ideal for real-time collaboration, distributed databases, and synchronization applications.
