CAP Theorem

Description

Explains the CAP theorem through an animated distributed system with 3 nodes. A network partition is triggered, and the animation shows the trade-off: choosing CP sacrifices availability while choosing AP allows divergence. Real-world systems are labeled with their CAP classification.

Phases

# Phase Name Duration Description
1 Intro 3s Title displayed
2 CAP Triangle 6s Animated triangle showing Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance
3 System Setup 4s 3-node distributed system shown with links
4 Network Partition 5s Link between nodes breaks (shown as red X)
5 CP Choice 8s System rejects writes; nodes show same value; "consistent"
6 AP Choice 8s Writes accepted; nodes diverge (different values); "available"
7 Real Systems 8s Label HBase=CP, Cassandra=AP, Zookeeper=CP, DynamoDB=AP
