Last-write-wins.
also: LWW · last write wins · last-writer-winsResolving conflicting writes by keeping the one with the highest timestamp and discarding the rest.
the two-minute refresher
- Each write carries a timestamp; on conflict the highest wins.
- Simple, and every replica converges.
- Clock skew can make an older write 'win'; concurrent writes are silently dropped.
- Fine for caches and settings, wrong for carts and counters.
