CAP theorem says it's impossible.

That isn't what the CAP theorem says at all. It says you need to pick your guarantees.

Additionally, resilience is in the eye of the beholder: might mean AP for a service that needs to be up at the cost of consistency or CP for a service that detects when it can't achieve quorum and fail gratefully.
