Point is... with AOF and RDB enabled, and wait command used in sane manner, one can get reasonable consistency with a significant speed tradeoff and increase in application complexity. So if consistent cache is needed, one can have that wit

No two processes can guarantee data consistency unless using shared memory with some kind of locking on update. And given two servers don't share memory, two processes running on these servers can not guarantee consistency either. To p
