What Are Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs)?

Too Long; Didn't Read

The fundamental idea is this: You have data stored on multiple replicas. You need to deal with conflicts across multiple replicates of data. CRDTs solves a fundamental problem in data storage and makes collaboration seamless and conflict-free. There are two different categories of CRDT types: state-based or operation-based CRDT models. Operations-based models transmit state by transmitting only the update operation. Operation-based replicas send their full local state to other replicas. State-basedCRDTs send their state to others.
