    𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 by DesignGurus.io Here is a master template that you can use in many system design problems 1. 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫: Distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server bears too much demand. This helps increase the availability and reliability of applications. 2. 𝐀𝐏𝐈 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲: Acts as a gatekeeper for APIs, handling request routing, composition, and protocol translation. Often includes functionalities like authentication, monitoring, and load balancing. 3. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐂𝐃𝐍: Delivery of static assets (like images and scripts) that don't change often, using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to speed up their delivery by caching content in multiple locations around the world. 4. 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫: Components that manage metadata and data blocks, respectively. Metadata servers store information about where data blocks are located and their properties, while block servers actually store the data chunks. 5. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞: Storage system designed to store data across multiple points of presence to increase data redundancy and reliability. 6. 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 & 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐮𝐞: Handles the processing and queuing of data needed to generate user-specific content feeds, like those seen on social media platforms. 7. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 & 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Manages data sharding and partitioning strategies, optimizing data distribution and access by dividing larger databases into more manageable pieces. 8. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 & 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐮𝐞: Manages sending notifications to users, handling both the queueing of notification messages and their delivery. 9. 𝐂𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 (𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬/𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝): In-memory data storage used to reduce the number of times data is read from slower databases, enhancing performance by serving repeated requests for the same data quickly. 10. 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐮𝐞 & 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬: Dedicated system components for video processing tasks, queuing them and distributing the workload among multiple workers to process the videos as needed. 11. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠: Systems for logging and tracing the behavior of distributed systems, essential for debugging and monitoring the performance of distributed applications. 12. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 (𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐩/𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞, 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤): Frameworks used for processing large data sets with a distributed algorithm on a cluster. #skillsscaleup #demystific #learning #training #skilldevelopment #computerscience #informationtechnology #cybersecurity #datascience #development #softwaredevelopment #softwaredesign

    𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 by ByteByteGo - 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 Polling involves repeatedly checking the external service or endpoint at fixed intervals to retrieve updated information. It’s like constantly asking, “Do you have something new for me?” even where there might not be any update. This approach is resource-intensive and inefficient. Also, you get updates only when you ask for it, thereby missing any real-time information. However, developers have more control over when and how the data is fetched. - 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 Webhooks are like having a built-in notification system. You don’t continuously ask for information. Instead you create an endpoint in your application server and provide it as a callback to the external service (such as a payment processor or a shipping vendor) Every time something interesting happens, the external service calls the endpoint and provides the information. This makes webhooks ideal for dealing with real-time updates because data is pushed to your application as soon as it’s available. So, when to use Polling or Webhook? Polling is a solid option when there is some infrastructural limitation that prevents the use of webhooks. Also, with webhooks there is a risk of missed notifications due to network issues, hence proper retry mechanisms are needed. Webhooks are recommended for applications that need instant data delivery. Also, webhooks are efficient in terms of resource utilization especially in high throughput environments. #skillsscaleup #demystific #learning #training #skilldevelopment #computerscience #informationtechnology #cybersecurity #datascience #development #softwaredevelopment #softwaredesign

    𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮? by ByteByteGo Redis is an in-memory database. If the server goes down, the data will be lost. The diagram below shows two ways to persist Redis data on disk: 1. AOF (Append-Only File) 2. RDB (Redis Database) Note that data persistence is not performed on the critical path and doesn't block the write process in Redis. 🔹 𝗔𝗢𝗙 Unlike a write-ahead log, the Redis AOF log is a write-after log. Redis executes commands to modify the data in memory first and then writes it to the log file. AOF log records the commands instead of the data. The event-based design simplifies data recovery. Additionally, AOF records commands after the command has been executed in memory, so it does not block the current write operation. 🔹 𝗥𝗗𝗕 The restriction of AOF is that it persists commands instead of data. When we use the AOF log for recovery, the whole log must be scanned. When the size of the log is large, Redis takes a long time to recover. So Redis provides another way to persist data - RDB. RDB records snapshots of data at specific points in time. When the server needs to be recovered, the data snapshot can be directly loaded into memory for fast recovery. Step 1: The main thread forks the‘ bgsave’ sub-process, which shares all the in-memory data of the main thread. ‘bgsave’ reads the data from the main thread and writes it to the RDB file. Steps 2 and 3: If the main thread modifies data, a copy of the data is created. Steps 4 and 5: The main thread then operates on the data copy. Meanwhile ‘bgsave’ sub-process continues to write data to the RDB file. 🔹 Mixed Usually in production systems, we can choose a mixed approach, where we use RDB to record data snapshots from time to time and use AOF to record the commands since the last snapshot. #skillsscaleup #demystific #learning #training #skilldevelopment #computerscience #informationtechnology #cybersecurity #datascience #development #softwaredevelopment #softwaredesign
