dont use eventual consistency unless you absolutely have to.

hey every1, lately ive been thinkin a lot abt consistency models in distributed systems. we often aim for strong consistency, but it can come w/ perf and avail trade-offs, esp at scale. on the other hand, eventual consistency can be tricky to reason abt and debug, and might not be suitable for all use cases. what r ur go-to strategies or rules of thumb for decidin when to prioritize strong consistency and when is eventual consistency perfectly acceptable, or even preferrable? any war stories or lessons learned from implementin one over the other? lookin forward to hearin ur thoughts
