Rconvin

Rconvin is a fictional open-source software project that describes a framework for real-time reconciliation of distributed data across heterogeneous systems. It is designed to converge conflicting records, configurations, and policies into a consistent state without centralized control.

The core idea is to provide an abstraction layer that coordinates update propagation, conflict detection, and resolution using pluggable adapters to databases, message queues, and identity services. It supports eventual consistency and auditable decision logs.

Architecture includes a central reconciliation engine, a set of connectors/adapters, a policy engine specifying resolution strategies, and a graph of reconciled entities. Clients can be written in multiple languages; communication via standard APIs and event streams.

History and status: The concept originated from a 2022 whitepaper by an international open-source collective. A reference implementation was initiated in 2023, with a first stable release in 2024 and ongoing community development.

Reception: In academic and practitioner discussions, Rconvin is used as a case study to discuss data divergence, latency, conflict resolution, and governance in distributed systems. Because it is fictional, real-world adoption depends on project outcomes and governance.
