How would you design a microservice architecture to ensure data consistency across multiple services that need to share user information? Consider the scenario where one service updates user data while another service reads it. What mechanisms would you implement to maintain consistency?

``` Implement eventual consistency using a distributed transaction protocol like Saga or leverage a CQRS pattern with snapshots and event sourcing. Scenario Pressure: How would you handle failures during the transaction process? Depth Trigger: What implications would these mechanisms have on system latency and throughput? ```
