Evolution and Integration of CRDTs in Distributed Systems

The chapter explores the challenges of modern software development with the rise of stateful real-time protocols and the emergence of individualized real-time sync protocols. It delves into the use of CRDTs to handle conflicts in data synchronization, the development of rich CRDTs with additional database guarantees, and the integration of CRDT semantics with traditional Postgres data models for improved consistency and conflict resolution.
