That's what I thought, for the most part.
So consistency, then availability, then reliability.
One process per instance, reading all of the data into RAM, then with lazy writes to persistent storage fits the above, I think. Enough of the scalability can still be there, I think, for purposes of the example problem we're discussing, since each instance gets its own process.
