Problem

How do you ensure data consistency across distributed systems?

Discuss the question in the context of an end-to-end ML platform, including data ingestion, offline training, feature storage, model deployment, and online inference. Explain how you would choose consistency guarantees, detect divergence, handle partial failures, and prevent training-serving skew. Address how your approach changes with scale, latency, availability, and cost constraints.
