They really need to dial back on marketing bs. async multimaster takes away consistency. Piling on NewSQL DBS for slow synchronous writes to a quorum of nodes WTF?


async multi-master does trade off consistency for availability and latency. In PACELC terms, pgEdge leans into AP/EL, not CP. It’s built for low-latency local writes across regions, with built-in conflict resolution to manage eventual consistency. Definitely not trying to be a NewSQL quorum-write system. Just a different use case.
