 # Clocks
 
 There are two main approaches to time in a distributed system: **physical clocks** and **virtual (logical) clocks**.

 # Disconnected Operation
 
 Always available writes inherently pose a problem in distributed systems. To allow for disconnected operation, we need to be able to write to a local copy of the data, and then synchronize it with the rest of the system when we're back online. Many apps today are built to work with intermittent lack of connectivity, for example, file syncing apps/sourcing control systems. In many of these systems, writes can conflict, and need to be resolved either manually or automatically.

 # Distributed Mutual Exclusion
 
 We want the same old mutual exclusion via locking, but in a distributed system. The trick is to keep a consistent ordering of locking events on every node in the system.
