System Design: SQL vs NoSQL databases and what distinguishes them.

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, database, development, engineering, inclusive, MongoDB, software, sql, systemdesign

In the realm of databases, two primary types of solutions exist, SQL (relational) and NoSQL (non-relational) databases. These two categories differ significantly in their construction, the nature of the data they store, and their storage methods. Relational databases are structured with predefined schemas, while non-relational databases are unstructured, distributed, and feature dynamic schemas. High-level differences Here are some high-level differences between SQL and NoSQL: Storage SQL stores data in tables where each row represents an entity, and each column represents a data point related to that entity. NoSQL databases utilize various data storage models, including key-value, graph, and document-oriented approaches.…

What is Load Balancing ?

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, programming, software, systemdesign, webdev

Hi There, This is a comprehensive post about load balancing, a crucial concept in system design. What is Load Balancing? Load balancing is a critical component of modern web architecture. It refers to the process of distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server bears too much demand. This practice is essential for maintaining high availability and reliability of web services. Initially, when a company starts, it might have just one server handling all requests. However, as the company grows and the number of client requests increases, a single server may no longer be sufficient. To…

Why BookMyShow “Failed” but Hotstar Succeeded – A System Design Perspective

stp2y0 CommentsNewsarchitecture, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, programming, software, systemdesign, webdev

I've seen a lot of people asking why BookMyShow struggled during events like the Coldplay concert, while platforms like Hotstar seem to manage massive traffic, especially during big cricket matches. To answer that, we need to understand this from a system design and infrastructure perspective—and it's not exactly a fair comparison. Apples to Oranges: Read-heavy vs Write-heavy Systems Hotstar and BookMyShow are fundamentally different in how they handle user interaction. Hotstar is read-heavy, where millions of users are simply streaming content (reading data). On the other hand, BookMyShow is write-heavy during high-demand events like concert ticket sales, with a surge…

System Design: CAP Theorem

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, devjournal, engineering, inclusive, software, systemdesign, webdev

Imagine you and a friend are watching the same live football match but on different devices. One device shows the final whistle has blown, while the other still displays a tense final minute on the clock. Frustrating, right? This seemingly simple scenario highlights a fundamental concept in distributed systems: the CAP theorem. Before we dive deeper into trade-offs and debates regarding the CAP theorem let's first understand what CAP stands for: consistency: consistency in CAP theorem(different than the consistency in ACID) stands for the guarantee that the read receives the most recent write. Availability: Guarantee that a read returns data…

DESIGN PATTERNS : A Deep Dive into Common Design Patterns

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, designpatterns, development, engineering, inclusive, software, softwaredevelopment, softwareengineering, systemdesign

What is a design pattern? Design patterns are solutions to complex problems. Design patterns are all about crafting your classes and interfaces in a way that solves a particular design problem. Usually, while designing a system, we encounter some issues, and for those problems, we have a set of design patterns. Design patterns are generally templates that involve classes, interfaces, and the relationships between those classes. Types of design patterns: Creational design patterns: These types of patterns deal with the creation of objects in a way that is compatible with the given situation.At the creational level, we can determine how…

CAP Theorem

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, learning, software, systemdesign, webdev

It is a fundamental framework for understanding trade-offs when designing distributed systems. Consistency (C): A distributed system is said to be highly consistent when every read receives the most recent write or an error. Availability (A): A distributed system is said to be highly Available when every request (Read or Write) receives a non-error response, without guarantee that it contains the most recent write Partition Tolerance (PT): A highly partition tolerant system continues to operate despite an arbitrary number of messages drop(delay) between nodes. The CAP trade-off: Choosing 2 of 3: In the presence of network partition a distributed system…
