Introduction Overview of Distributed Key-Value Databases Distributed key-value databases are a type of NoSQL database that store data as a collection of key-value pairs across a distributed system. Unlike traditional databases that rely on a centralized server, distributed key-value stores allow for horizontal scaling by spreading data across multiple nodes, which enhances availability and fault tolerance. This architecture is particularly suited for modern applications that require high throughput, low latency, and the ability to handle large volumes of data. In a distributed key-value database, each piece of data is identified by a unique key, making retrieval and storage efficient. This…
