Slightly off topic but articles like this make me weep as I look at my infrastructure and think about all the best practices that we by all means should be following, but aren't because of a senior engineer stuck in the 1990's and is seemingly not only paralyzed by analysis (and bikeshedding), but seems to subscribe to the notion as a way of living, and management who defers to him at every turn despite all evidence of how it holds us back (not to mention directly contributing to outages). I'd give my first born child for immutable servers.
Consistency in database systems refers to the requirement that any given database transaction must change affected data only in allowed ways. Any data written to the database must be valid according to all defined rules
