Consistency & Consensus
Understand the fundamental trade-offs of distributed systems — CAP theorem, PACELC model, strong vs eventual consistency, and linearizability.
Consistency & Consensus
Deep dive into distributed systems theory — CAP theorem, PACELC model, strong vs eventual consistency, and linearizability. Understand how systems behave under failure.

Time & Ordering
Deep dive into time and ordering in distributed systems — Lamport timestamps, vector clocks, and consensus algorithms (Raft/Paxos). Understand why ordering is hard without a global clock.
