Logical Clocks and Time in Distributed Systems
Distributed systems have no global clock. Logical clocks help reason about ordering, causality, and concurrency without relying on physical time.
Logical Clocks
From Constraints to Communication
Part 2 of our distributed systems series explores how communication and coordination are shaped by network, node, and time constraints. Learn key strategies for building reliable and scalable systems.
Time Model – Why Ordering Is Harder Than It Looks
In distributed systems, time is not shared. Ordering events requires reasoning about causality, not clocks.
