Despite its age, there are different interpretations of the CAP Theorem, leading to a degree of confusion among practitioners about CAP properties, and misunderstanding of the claims made by NoSQL database vendors. This Knowledge Sharing article aims to demystify the CAP Theorem (yet again!) and help practitioners understand the mechanisms supported/implemented by NoSQL databases with respect to CAP properties and evaluate the associated tradeoffs.
