In this tutorial, we will explore some of the key design patterns used in the architecture of distributed systems. These patterns help in building scalable, reliable, and efficient systems.
Overview
Distributed systems are complex and challenging to design and implement. Design patterns provide a way to simplify the process by offering reusable solutions to common problems.
Key Patterns
- Client-Server Architecture: This pattern divides the system into two parts: the client, which requests services, and the server, which provides those services.
- Microservices Architecture: This pattern breaks down a large application into smaller, independent services that communicate with each other.
- Event-Driven Architecture: This pattern focuses on the flow of events between different components of the system.
- Caching: This pattern involves storing frequently accessed data in memory to reduce the load on the database and improve performance.
