What is Immediate Consistency?

Immediate consistency ensures that updates made to a data store are immediately visible to all clients. This means that once a write operation is completed, any subsequent read operation will reflect the updated value.

• Immediate consistency provides strong consistency guarantees, ensuring that all clients see the most recent data at the same time.
• However, achieving immediate consistency can sometimes result in higher latency for write operations, as the system must ensure that updates are immediately propagated to all clients to maintain consistency.

Consistency refers to the property that ensures that all data in a system remains accurate and reliable over time. It ensures that when multiple clients or users access the same data, they all see the same, most up-to-date version of that data.
