Understanding the challenges in building scalable fault tolerant system from first principles.

Outline

There is lot of hype created about noSQL, eventual consistency etc. What does these actually mean? Are there any reason why they work the way they do?
In this lecture let us discuss about the meaning of the following
ACID
BASE

What are the consequences of these theorems.
I will try to give theoretical background about why is it so hard build a scalable fault tolerant system. What are the challenges involved.
