A Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type (CRDT) is a data structure designed for distributed systems that allow multiple nodes to update the data concurrently without coordination or synchronization, while ensuring that all replicas (copies) of the data converge to the same final state. CRDTs are particularly useful in scenarios where network partitions or latency exist, as they enable eventual consistency without the need for complex conflict resolution mechanisms typically found in distributed databases.
