We briefly discussed rate limiting in Endpoint Protection. Let’s see it in detail here. Rate Limiting is defined as a way that prevents the overflow of frequency of any operations than a defined limit. The main functionality of rate limiting in distributed systems is to maintain availability by sharing resources…

Distributed transactions are those operations held over the data across two or more databases. When there are multiple nodes spanning over different databases of the same server that are connected via a single network, distributed transactions can help coordinate the operations over it. These transactions help alter the data on…

Transactions are a series of database operations. Each transaction is a single unit of the main task. The data integrity is intact in these transactions since all the operations either fail together or succeed together. Generally, some databases choose to leave out ACID transactions because of the other required optimizations…

Message brokers are a system that eases the communication between different applications, systems, and services to exchange information by translating them between formal messaging protocols. With these brokers, the interdependent services can interact even if they are in different languages or are implemented on different platforms. …

The N-Tier Architecture is when the application is divided into logical layers and physical tiers so they are separate and can run on separate machines. Each layer has a specific responsibility and manages dependencies as well. …

Service discovery is a process of detecting services within network clusters. It works on Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) — a networking standard for detecting network service by identifying resources. Usually, we see services invoke each other via language-level methods or procedure calls in the monolithic application. But modern microservices have…

The term database replication means sharing the data to make sure it stays consistent between redundant sources like multiple databases. This helps improve reliability, fault tolerance, and accessibility. There are two kinds of replication for the database. Let’s look at them individually. Master-Slave Replication In the master-slave replication, you can have a…

In a database, when it needs to be split up by functions, we use federation architecture. In common words, we can call the federation functional partitioning as well. There are multiple physical databases in the architecture which are presented as a logical database to the end-users. This is because the…

TCP The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented service where the data transmission is on both sides after the connection is established. It has an in-built system to check on the errors as well. …
