Daily Term: BASE Transactions

BASE Transactions

BASE (Basically Available, Soft state, Eventual consistency) is a model for distributed systems that prioritizes availability over strict consistency, contrasting with ACID. It ensures the system remains available even during failures, with data in a 'soft' state that may not always be consistent but will eventually converge. BASE is used in NoSQL databases like Cassandra, offering scalability and flexibility at the cost of immediate consistency guarantees.
