  • Understanding conflict-free replicated data types and how they help when building distributed applications
  • Diving deep into how messages are replayed across clients when network access becomes available to achieve consistent state
  • Using a Merkle tree to efficiently compare the message store from two clients to know which messages need to be synchronized
  • Considerations you need to make when structuring your data to enable eventual consistency
