Welcome to the Database Architecture guide! 💡 This document provides an overview of database systems, their components, and best practices for designing efficient data storage solutions.
Overview
A database architecture defines the structure and organization of data storage, management, and retrieval systems. It includes:
- Storage Engine: Manages data storage and retrieval (e.g., MySQL's InnoDB, PostgreSQL's Heap)
- Query Optimizer: Enhances query performance by selecting the most efficient execution plan
- Transaction Manager: Ensures ACID compliance for data consistency
- Connection Pool: Manages database connections for optimal resource utilization

Common Architecture Patterns
- Client-Server Model - Standard architecture for relational databases
- Distributed Architecture - Used for large-scale data systems (e.g., Cassandra, MongoDB)
- Microservices Architecture - Enables modular database design for modern applications
Best Practices
- Use normalization to reduce data redundancy
- Implement indexing for faster query performance
- Regularly backup data to prevent loss
- Monitor query performance and optimize as needed
