Beat the CAP Theorem : Make Distributed consistency simple

In this episode I talk to Andras Gerlits, who founded omniledger.io. Andras has a very interesting view on how Distributed Consistency should work that can get rid of several bottlenecks when it comes to maintaining Distributed consistency. He argues how getting rid of a global wall clock and using causality to approach Distributed consistency helps you build resilient, simple and performant systems. We have gone deeper into how that can be achieved and how the product works.
