In which scenario is Consistent Prefix applicable?

Consistent Prefix is relevant in scenarios where changes are visible in a certain order, but there might be a delay in that visibility. This means that while the transactions and updates are applied in a sequence, not all changes are immediately reflected to the user. The changes maintain their order, ensuring that what the user sees aligns with the sequence of operations, even if further updates are pending to be visible.

This concept is crucial for maintaining a user experience where the order of operations matters, such as in financial transactions or timelines, where seeing actions in the correct order is essential, even if some actions are not immediately visible.

In contrast, scenarios that imply real-time visibility, eventual consistency, or conflict resolution do not adhere to the concept of Consistent Prefix as they address different aspects of data consistency and visibility in distributed systems.
