In this article I will be talking about the basic concepts that are used within a Blockchain. Hash Functions A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values. The values returned by a hash function a...
One of the problems that we come up against when designing scalable & highly available systems is how can we partition and replicate data in our systems. Data partitioning is the process of distributing data across a set of nodes while Data Replicati...
In distributed systems, failures will occur, e.g., servers can crash, disks can go bad resulting in data losses, or network connection can be lost, making a part of the system inaccessible. How can a distributed system model itself to get the maximum...
In this blog post we I will talk about some key characteristics of a highly scalable distributed system in particular: Scalability Read Part 4 Reliability Availability Efficiency and Manageability. Scalability Scalability is the capability of a sys...
In order to understand how the the concept of cloud [unlimited computing resourcing] works, we need to understand the concepts of scalability. In other words how does computing resources scale ? Let's consider the basic simple web application softwar...
