Edge Latency Breaks on Consistent Writes
7 min read
Edge computing cuts read latency but fails on consistent writes due to the CAP theorem. Cloudflare KV is eventually consistent, with writes propagating in under 60 seconds. CRDTs and Raft consensus offer solutions, but strong consistency across regions adds latency. Engineers must partition data by region for reliable writes.
