Conflict-free replicated data type
- A data structure that is replicated across multiple computers in a network, with the following features: 1) The application can update replica independently, concurrently, and without coordinating with other replicas. 2) An algorithm (itself part of the data type) automatically resolves inconsistencies that might occur. 3) Although replicas may have different state at any particular point in time, they are guaranteed to eventually converge. The CRDT concept was formally defined in 2011. ← Wikipedia
