Distributed System Architecture
Distributed system architecture refers to a computing model in which components of a system are spread across multiple machines, yet function as a cohesive unit. These systems are designed to achieve scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability by leveraging the capabilities of multiple nodes or servers. Distributed systems are foundational to cloud computing, large-scale web…

Availability : CAP Theorm
Availability in CAP: Ensuring Continuous Responsiveness in Distributed Systems The CAP theorem, formulated by Eric Brewer, is foundational to understanding the design trade-offs in distributed systems. It asserts that a distributed system can simultaneously provide only two of three properties: Consistency (C), Availability (A), and Partition Tolerance (P). In this context, availability ensures that every…
