ACID / CAP / SOLID Principle

ACID properties, SOLID principles, and the CAP Theorem. This analysis will summarize the key points, highlighting the importance of these concepts in software development.

ACID Properties

ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) ensures reliable database transactions.

  • Atomicity: Guarantees transactions are treated as a single unit.
  • Consistency:  Maintains database consistency across transactions.
  • Isolation: Prevents concurrent transactions from interfering.
  • Durability: Ensures transaction effects are permanent.

These properties are crucial for maintaining data integrity and preventing errors.

SOLID Principles

SOLID (Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion) guides object-oriented design.

  • Single Responsibility Principle (SRP):  Classes should have one reason to change.
  • Open-Closed Principle (OCP): Software entities should be open for extension, closed for modification.
  • Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): Derived classes should substitute base classes.
  • Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Clients should not depend on unused interfaces.
  • Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules.

SOLID principles promote maintainable, flexible software design.

CAP Theorem

The CAP Theorem states that distributed data stores cannot simultaneously guarantee:

-Consistency: Every read operation sees the most recent write or error.

  • Availability: Every request receives a response (without guarantee of recency).
  • Partition Tolerance*: System operation despite network partitions.

Understanding the CAP Theorem helps developers make informed design decisions.
