The Class of Problems Realith Addresses
Realith should be read not as an industry solution and not as an answer to one particular market, but as an infrastructure for a specific class of coordination problems.
Overview
The issue is inter-subject coordination in which the same object must be held across multiple independent participants and must have a recognizable current result on which the next step depends.
Where Realith is not needed
Realith is not the natural answer where:
- there is one natural owner of the whole environment;
- an ordinary internal database and a single administrative model are sufficient;
- the object does not outlive a single event;
- no separate layer of canonical current state is required;
- inter-subject coordination is effectively absent.
The class of problems matters more than a list of industries: one and the same industry may contain both natural and entirely unsuitable scenarios.
