How do you ensure strong consistency in distributed Node.js systems?

Expert NodeJS
Quick Answer Strong consistency in distributed Node.js: use a single-leader database (PostgreSQL) for writes with read replicas, implement optimistic concurrency (version checks before writes), use distributed transactions carefully via sagas, leverage Redis SET with NX+EX for distributed locks, and design idempotent operations so retries are safe.

Answer

Use quorum reads/writes, distributed locks, idempotent updates, ordered logs, and consensus protocols such as Raft.
