                    Important concepts to understand (why it matters, what useful properties):
                    - Exactly-Once
                    - Idempotency
                    - Monotonicity
                    - Linearizability
                    - Consensus
                    - Quorum

                    Important protocols to design, implement, and optimize for (latency, throughput, fairness):
                    - Asynchronous Replication
                    - Synchronous Failover
                    - Leader Election
                    - Multi-Paxos
                    - Shard Reconfigurations
                    - Two-Phase Commit

                    Part II of the book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" can provide a starting foundation.
