Conflict-free Replicated Data-Type (CRDT)

A CRDT is a type of data-structure used in distributed systems where the data-structure is replicated across the distributed system. A CRDT satisfies the following criteria:

• Each replica can be updated independently, concurrently, and without conflict or coordination with other replicas
• Any inconsistencies that occur are automatically resolved by an algorithm that is part of the data-structure
• The replicas in the CRDT eventually achieve consistency
