Caching, Databases & Storage Basics

As systems grow, performance and scalability become critical.Most real-world applications cannot rely on databases alone. This is where caching and proper storage choices play a key role in system design. In this blog, we’ll cover why caching is needed, how databases differ, and basic storage types—keeping it simple and practical. Why Caching Is Needed Databases […]

CAP Theorem, ACID & BASE in System Design

Understanding how distributed systems behave is critical for building reliable software.Two key concepts that guide system behavior are the CAP Theorem and ACID/BASE properties. This blog explains these concepts simply, so you can apply them in real-world designs and interviews. CAP Theorem CAP stands for Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance. Key Points: Rule: In a
