Introduction Stateful and stateless architectures represent two distinct paradigms in system design, each with significant implications for scalability, complexity, and operational efficiency. Stateful architecture maintains client session data or application state on the server, while stateless architecture treats each request…
Introduction Client-server architecture is a foundational model in distributed computing, underpinning the design of modern software systems, including web applications, enterprise solutions, and networked services. This architecture delineates the roles of clients and servers, where clients initiate requests, and servers…
Introduction Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are fundamental building blocks in modern software architecture, serving as the conduits for communication between different system components. In the context of system design interviews, understanding APIs is essential, as they often form the backbone…
Introduction System design interviews are a pivotal component of the hiring process for software architect and senior engineering roles, testing a candidate’s ability to architect scalable, reliable, and efficient systems under complex constraints. Unlike coding interviews, which focus on algorithmic…
Introduction System design is a cornerstone of modern software engineering, encompassing the art and science of architecting scalable, reliable, and efficient systems to solve complex problems. In the context of technical interviews, particularly for software architect or senior engineering roles,…
Token-based authentication has become the standard for secure user access in modern applications, surpassing traditional session-based methods. Unlike sessions stored on the server, token-based authentication involves issuing unique digital tokens to clients upon successful login. Here’s a deeper look into…
Imagine you are buying a car. What essential features do you need in it? A vehicle should deliver a person from point A to point B. But what we also check in it is Safety, Comfort, Maintainability, Ease of repair…
Here is the brief introduction to sidecar and ambassador patterns. Sidecar — A piece of functionality that extends or augments your main application and resides in a separate process. For example, your main application writes logs to stdin / stderr while…
It is one of the common question I often come across while I am chatting with my friend or searching something on the Internet. I will try to explain these two confusing terms to you in this article. Definition of…
