What is typical eventual consistency lag?

Same-region database replication: 10-100ms. Cross-region: 50-500ms. Kafka consumer processing lag: 10ms-10s. CDN cache propagation: 1-30 seconds. DNS propagation: minutes to 48 hours.

When is eventual consistency acceptable?

Acceptable for: social media feeds, search indexes, analytics, recommendations, and non-critical notifications. NOT acceptable for: financial transactions, inventory updates, or user authentication.

How do you implement read-your-writes consistency with eventual consistency?

Route reads for a user to the same replica they wrote to, include a timestamp in writes and reject stale reads, or use sticky sessions for recent mutations.
