WHY
DISTRIBUTED
SYSTEMS
Distributed systems provide scalability, fault
tolerance, and resource sharing.

They allow us to handle large-scale applications


and data efficiently.

1. NODES
Individual computers in a distributed system.

Each node can perform tasks and communicate with other nodes.
DesignGurus.io

2. SCALABILITY
The ability of the system to handle increased load by adding more
nodes.

Distributed systems can scale horizontally by adding more machines.


DesignGurus.io

3. FAULT TOLERANCE
The system’s ability to continue operating properly in the event of a
failure of some of its components.

Distributed systems achieve this by having redundancy and


replication.
DesignGurus.io

4. CONSISTENCY
Ensuring all nodes see the same data at the same time. This can be
challenging due to network delays and failures.
DesignGurus.io

5. AVAILABILITY
The system's ability to be operational and accessible when needed.

High availability is achieved through redundancy and failover


mechanisms.
DesignGurus.io

6. PARTITION TOLERANCE
The system continues to operate despite network partitions that cause
some nodes to be unable to communicate with others.
DesignGurus.io

7. CAP THEOREM
The theorem states that a distributed system can only provide two out
of three guarantees: Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance.
DesignGurus.io

8. REPLICATION
Copying data across multiple nodes to ensure reliability and fault
tolerance.
DesignGurus.io

9. SHARDING
Dividing a database into smaller, more manageable pieces (shards)
that can be distributed across multiple nodes.
DesignGurus.io

10. LOAD BALANCING


Distributing the workload evenly across all nodes to ensure no single
node is overwhelmed.
DesignGurus.io

11. DISTRIBUTED CONSENSUS


Achieving agreement among distributed nodes on a certain value or
state.

Common algorithms include Paxos and Raft.


DesignGurus.io

12. DISTRIBUTED
TRANSACTIONS
Ensuring a sequence of operations across multiple nodes completes
successfully and maintains system integrity.
DesignGurus.io

13. MIDDLEWARE
Software that provides common services and capabilities to
applications outside of what's offered by the operating system.

It helps in communication and data management among distributed


nodes.
