Just Enough Agreement: read your writes, and why not to over-buy consistency
Just Enough Agreement is Episode 3 of Learning Maps, a Napkin Films series that turns system design into story. Strong consistency is the expensive default, a cathedral when a sticky note would do. The skill is buying the cheapest guarantee the story actually needs: read your writes, monotonic reads, session consistency.
