Kyle Kingsbury, known as Aphyr on Twitter and for his blog by the
same name, talks to Stefan Tilkov about consensus in
distributed systems and about his experience in testing systems
to see how they behave in case of failures. In addition to
discussing some of the theoretical foundations, such as the CAP
theorem, isolation levels, and consensus protocols, Kyle talks
about some specific databases, including MongoDB, Riak, and
Redis, and discusses how they maintain and achieve — or fail to
achieve — a consistent state. Finally, there's some advice for
practitioners on how to pick a solution and understand its
properties.
