Statealigned is a term used in software engineering to describe the condition in which the current state of a component, service, or data store matches a reference or canonical state. The term emphasizes coherence across different parts of a system, whether across distributed replicas, client and server, or layers within an application. It is not tied to a single formal standard, but rather used descriptively to discuss how closely states align during operation or after synchronization.
In distributed systems, state alignment is a central goal for maintaining consistency. Replicas that are statealigned
