The author addresses that in a linked post: https://brooker.co.za/blog/2024/07/25/cap-again.html

They don't address it so much as assume it away. Of course if all your load balancers and end clients can still talk to both sides of your partition then you don't have a problem - that's because you don't actually have a partition in that case.

  • The author’s position seems to be that “actual partition” in this sense is a very unusual case for most cloud applications.
