This article explains what clusters, distributed systems, and microservices are, compares their characteristics such as scalability, high availability, and load balancing, and shows how they complement each other in modern backend architecture.
This article explains the evolution of project architectures—from single‑server MVC to RPC, SOA, and micro‑services—while defining key terms such as clusters, load balancing methods, and various caching strategies essential for high‑concurrency, large‑scale backend systems.
The article explains how modern software development has shifted from relying solely on hardware performance to embracing distributed architectures, clarifies the differences between clusters and distributed systems, outlines the components of a full‑featured distributed environment, and illustrates these concepts with practical examples and diagrams.
This article explains the concepts of distributed clusters and load balancing, contrasting clusters and distributed systems with real‑world analogies, describing various load‑balancing techniques such as DNS, LVS, and reverse proxies, and offers practical guidance on designing simple, reliable, and efficient load‑balancing solutions for distributed back‑ends.
