What this episode covers

Commutativity is an algebraic property that means that order doesn’t matter. Because network messages arrive out of order, it’s the perfect property for distributed systems. In this episode, you’ll learn what it is (with some real world examples), why it’s useful, and 3 ways you can make an existing operation commutative.
