    DesignGurus.org
    1. Consistency models

    There are various consistency models that can


    be used in a distributed system, including
    strong consistency, eventual consistency,
    and causal consistency.

    Understanding the trade-offs between these


    models and when to use them is crucial to
    designing distributed systems.

    DesignGurus.org
    2. Replication

    Replication is a key technique for increasing the


    availability and reliability of a distributed system.
    There are various approaches to replication,
    including primary-secondary, leader-
    follower, and quorum-based, and it's
    important to understand the trade-offs
    between them.

    DesignGurus.org
    3. Partitioning

    Partitioning, or sharding, is a technique for


    scaling a distributed system by dividing the data
    across multiple servers or data centers. There
    are various approaches to partitioning,
    including range-based, hash-based, and
    consistent hashing, and it's important to
    understand the trade-offs between them.

    DesignGurus.org
    4. Fault tolerance

    Fault tolerance is the ability of a distributed


    system to continue operating in the face of
    failures or errors. There are various techniques
    for achieving fault tolerance, including
    replication, failover, and self-healing, and
    it's important to understand the trade-offs
    between them.

    DesignGurus.org
    5. Load balancing

    Load balancing is a technique for distributing


    incoming requests across multiple servers or
    resources in a distributed system. There are
    various algorithms and approaches to load
    balancing, and it's important to understand the
    trade-offs between them.

    DesignGurus.org
    6. Latency

    Latency refers to the time it takes for a request


    to be sent from one point in the system to
    another, and for the response to be received.

    Latency is an important performance metric for


    distributed systems, as it can affect the speed at
    which the system can process requests and the
    user experience.

    DesignGurus.org
    7. Throughput

    Throughput refers to the rate at which the


    system can process requests or handle a
    workload.

    Throughput is an important performance metric


    for distributed systems, as it can affect the
    capacity of the system and the time it takes to
    complete a given task.

    DesignGurus.org
    8. Caching

    Caching is a technique for storing frequently


    accessed data in a fast, local store in order to
    improve the performance of a system.

    Understanding how to design systems that use


    caching can be useful for improving the
    performance and scalability of a distributed
    system.

    DesignGurus.org
    9. CAP theorem

    The CAP theorem states that it is impossible for


    a distributed system to simultaneously provide
    Consistency, Availability, and Partition
    tolerance. Understanding this trade-off is
    crucial to designing distributed systems.

    DesignGurus.org
    10. Proxies

    Reverse proxy: This type of proxy server is


    used to retrieve resources on behalf of a client
    from one or more servers. It's called a reverse
    proxy because it acts on behalf of the client,
    rather than the server.

    Forward proxy: This type of proxy server is


    used to retrieve resources on behalf of a client
    from the Internet. It acts as an intermediary
    between the client and the server, forwarding
    requests from the client to the server and
    returning responses from the server to the
    client.
