Data Consistency Properties and the Trade-offs in Commercial Cloud Storages: the Consumers’ Perspective

Summary: Consumer-focused empirical study of commercial NoSQL cloud storages, measuring observed consistency and performance across exposed primitives. Shows many systems behave stronger than advertised and that opting for weaker consistency often provides no measurable latency/availability benefit. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
