A fjord-ferry cargo board only displays a running “crates scanned” total in Cosmos DB. A slightly outdated number is acceptable and ordering across updates does not matter. Which consistency level fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A cargo tally that can be a little late is the classic “good enough” board. Eventual is the weakest Cosmos level when order does not matter. Do not haul Queue Storage into a consistency-level answer.
Full Explanation
Eventual consistency is the weakest of the five Cosmos DB levels and is appropriate when reads can lag and ordering guarantees are unnecessary. Strong and Bounded staleness add stronger guarantees the board does not need. Azure Queue Storage is a Domain 5 messaging service and is not a Cosmos consistency level.
