In database theory, the CAP theorem, also named Brewer's theorem after computer scientist Eric Brewer, states that any distributed data store can provide at most two of the following three guarantees: Consistency Every read receives the most recent write or an error. Consistency means that all clients see the same data at the same time, no matter which node they connect to.
