Clarification, I said GUN is NOT acid compliant from your "usual" understanding of the term, since GUN is AP. Most people assume acid means CP.

ACID is very vague though, and I'd like to explore it more by writing tests to either confirm or deny whether GUN supports it or not (would you be interested in helping build those tests?). I also want to get some Jepsen like tests up as well.

Data convergence (data sync) is guaranteed by the Hypothetical Amnesia Machine algorithm, which is completely deterministic and idempotent. There is some details on it in the wiki, let me know if you have any questions. I also did a tech talk on it.

In NO way does gun rely on S3 for consistency. That would be horrible. Check out the algorithm and slam me with questions/critiques. Thanks for looking. :)
