BASE

A NoSQL consistency model: Basically Available, Soft state, Eventually consistent, the counterpoint to ACID.

Definition

BASE systems favor availability and partition tolerance, accepting that replicas may briefly disagree before converging. Many NoSQL stores follow BASE by default but offer tunable or stronger consistency options.

Exam tip

ACID favors consistency; BASE favors availability. Expect a matching question.
