Consistency is a key principle in software architecture that ensures all parts of a system function harmoniously together. This is especially important in distributed systems where data needs to be synchronized across various components.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
Consistency means data and states obey agreed rules even under concurrent access.
The term became important in database and distributed systems because transactions and replication can create conflicting views. The sources document this line without a single founder.
Define invariants, visibility timing, and allowed divergence; transactions and replication models implement these contracts.
It must hold in every valid state.
It defines when readers observe changes.
The concept separates domain correctness from blanket freshness promises and guides storage strategies.
