Data synchronization and consistency in an ERP context
In an ERP system, ensuring data synchronization and consistency across different modules and microservices is crucial for maintaining the integrity and reliability of the system. This section provides a comprehensive guide to achieving data synchronization and consistency in an ERP context, covering various strategies and best practices.
Understanding data consistency models
Before diving into the implementation, it’s essential to understand the different data consistency models:
- Strong consistency: Guarantees that all nodes contain the same data at the same time
- Eventual consistency: Ensures that, given enough time, all nodes will converge to the same data state
- Causal consistency: Preserves the causal relationships between operations
- Read-your-writes consistency: Ensures that once a write is acknowledged, any subsequent read will reflect that write
In an ERP system, choosing the right consistency...
