4. CAP Theorem and PACELC Theorem

  1. CAP Trade-offs:
    • Set up a distributed key-value store (e.g., Consul or Etcd).
    • Simulate network partitions and observe behavior when prioritizing consistency vs availability.
  2. PACELC Exploration:
    • Use a NoSQL database like DynamoDB or MongoDB to demonstrate latency vs consistency trade-offs.
    • Write a report comparing latency in strongly consistent and eventually consistent reads.
  3. Visualization:
    • Create diagrams illustrating scenarios where CAP and PACELC apply.
    • Include real-world examples of systems (e.g., DynamoDB for AP, Spanner for CP).
