What it shows

Consensus protocols ensure servers agree on state despite node failures.
Partitioning spreads throughput; replication guards against machine loss.
Physical clocks drift, requiring logical timestamps like Lamport or vector clocks.

The takeaway

Distributed systems trade absolute simplicity for horizontal scalability and fault tolerance.
