How multi-leader systems wire their nodes together — circular, star, and all-to-all topologies — and why all-to-all introduces a causality problem that version vectors solve.
Write Conflicts in Multi-Leader Replication
Why write conflicts are unavoidable in multi-leader setups, the full spectrum of resolution strategies from last-write-wins to CRDTs, and what actually counts as a conflict.
