System Design: Hone Your System Design Skills By Exploring Real-World Web-Scale System Architectures [Feed Updated Daily]
Hey, there 👋🏻 I frequently browse engineering blogs of web-scale internet companies to deepen my understanding of software architecture and distributed system design, and I have begun curating noteworthy articles in this blog post for future reference. This feed will remain consistently updated. If you…
Single-threaded Event Loop Architecture for Building Asynchronous, Non-Blocking, Highly Concurrent Real-time Services
Real-time services like chat apps, MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) games, financial trading systems, apps with live streaming features, etc., deal with heavy concurrent traffic and real-time data. These services are I/O bound as they spend a major chunk of resources handling input-output operations such as…
Understanding SLA (Service Level Agreement) In Cloud Services: How Is SLA Calculated In Large-Scale Services?
An SLA (Service Level Agreement) is a contract or agreement between a service provider and the consumer that defines the expectations a consumer should have from the service provided by the service provider. An SLA helps maintain service standards and establishes service providers’ accountability towards…
Database Architecture – Part 2 – NoSQL DB Architecture with ScyllaDB (Shard Per Core Design)
In the first post of database architecture, I discussed the internal architecture of databases/database management systems, taking a peek into the architectures of MySQL and CockroachDB databases. In another article, a continuation of that article, I discussed how modern cloud servers run parallel compute to…
Parallel Processing: How Modern Cloud Servers Leverage Different System Architectures to Optimize Parallel Compute
Modern cloud servers leverage several system architectures to process data parallelly, which increases throughput, minimizes latency and optimizes resource consumption. In this article, I’ll discuss those system architectures and we’ll get an insight into how distributed services leverage these architectures to scale. With that being said….
Database Architecture – A Deep Dive – Part 1
This article is a deep dive into the internal architecture of databases/DBMS (Database Management Systems). I’ll begin with a standard architecture relational databases have; will then take a peek into the architectures of a couple of real-world SQL databases and then, in the subsequent articles,…
