Eventual consistency model

Eventual consistency is a model used in distributed systems where multiple servers or databases store the same data. When a change is made, it might not be instantly reflected everywhere, but the system guarantees that all copies will eventually become consistent over time. This approach allows for high availability and faster responses, especially in large, distributed networks. It's suitable for applications where immediate consistency is not critical, and slight delays in data synchronization are acceptable, ensuring users see the most recent data eventually without compromising system performance.
