Strong Consistency

Strong consistency is a guarantee in computer systems that when data is updated, all users see the latest version immediately. Imagine sharing a document: once one person makes a change and saves it, everyone else who opens the document will see that change right away. In systems with strong consistency, there’s no delay or confusion about the current state of data. This ensures that all operations happen in a clear, sequential order, maintaining data accuracy and reliability across all users and locations.
