Covers running redundant service copies, using reverse proxies , and load testing with tools like Autocannon .
Distributed systems have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to scale horizontally and improve overall system performance. Node.js, with its lightweight, flexible, and scalable nature, has emerged as a popular choice for building distributed systems. This paper provided an overview of distributed systems, their architecture, and the role of Node.js in building scalable and efficient distributed systems. We also discussed the benefits and challenges of using Node.js for distributed systems and provided a guide on how to get started with building distributed systems using Node.js.
Services often need to talk without waiting for an immediate response.
Scalability and ReliabilityLearn the difference between vertical scaling (adding power) and horizontal scaling (adding nodes). Understand how Node.js clusters can utilize multi-core processors on a single machine before expanding to multiple machines.
