I love it and want to use it, but two announcements of a new cloud hosted distributed DB and no mention of how consistency works or how conflicts are handled worries me a bit. Maybe one of the cloudflare people that read HN can shed some light on this? What happens when I write to the same key simultaneously from multiple workers and/or multiple edge nodes?

They write it in the description: eventual consistency with global consistency within 10 sec.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's rather vague definition. And is also wrong. They obviously can't guarantee global consistency within 10 sec, as that would require consensus which is impossible to guarantee in bounded time and they probably don't even use any consensus algorithm at all, as that would be pointless for a CDN.
