Distributed System

Understanding Transactional Outbox Pattern

Introduction: Microservices have become the standard in software development, offering benefits such as scalability, rapid deployments, smaller codebases, and low coupling. However, there’s a common pitfall: the risk of unintentionally creating a distributed monolithic architecture, where the failure of one service can impact others. To address this, we need a robust communication strategy that ensures…

A Simple introduction to Consensus Algorithms in Distributed System

Consensus algorithms play a crucial role in distributed systems, ensuring that multiple nodes or participants can agree on a single, consistent value or decision. They help maintain the reliability and consistency of data across a distributed network, even when some nodes might fail or become disconnected. Let’s break down consensus algorithms into simpler terms: Scenario:…
