Yes - you hit the nail in the head - that is indeed how SPOT and regular collections work.

We think we provide the flexibility of both very strict acid behavior using spot collections Along with the strong eventual consistency model for everything else. Important to understand that as a developer you don’t need to deal with any of it - it’s handled for you once you have marked a collection as a spot.

This is not related to gun in any way. We love what gun does and it’s approach and they do some very clever things (including work on the end device). We sit as a back end database as a service in 25 global pops and process dB operations (and code expressed as functions or containers) at the closest location (by latency or geo physical location) to the user or device using an app or api rubbing against us.

we wrote our own operational CRDT engine And streams to solve this.
