CAP Theorem in System Design
In today’s world of cloud application development, there has been a push toward distributed computing. Long gone are the days when native applications had all of their business logic locally, or when server systems all lived in the same bare-metal machine. To understand how to build resilient cloud applications, we need to understand the theory behind distributed systems. In this blog post, we are going to dive into the 101 of system design: the CAP Theorem.
