Dealing with eventual consistency

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Covers practical strategies for handling eventual consistency in web apps using message queues like Azure Service Bus or plain queues to accept requests immediately, with provisional UI rows stored in localStorage or IndexedDB and reconciliation via unique IDs when background workers (CQRS and Event Sourcing) process large message volumes. Compares polling, long-poll/SignalR-style notifications, and cross-server caching, and gives guidance on when to show a spinner versus a provisional success to avoid misleading users.
