16/And then there's Throttling, slowing down request processing to manage server load while still providing a response. Smart way to enhance user experience! #Throttling #BackendEngineering

15/API Gateway: The "gatekeeper" for your main server. It distributes load, and performs "rate limiting" to prevent DoS/DDoS attacks. #APIGateway #Security

14/WAF (Web Application Firewall): Your system's bodyguard! Protects against attacks like SQL injection and CSRF by applying predefined rules to requests. #CyberSecurity #WAF

13/ CDN (Content Delivery Network): Speeds things up by storing copies of content closer to users on "edge servers." Reduces latency and improves user experience! #CDN #WebPerformance

12/Load Balancers: Crucial for managing traffic! They distribute incoming requests across multiple servers to optimize performance. #LoadBalancing #Performance

11/DNS (Domain Name System): Your browser's first stop! It resolves domain names (like https://t.co/l9v8QHMAN8) to IP addresses. Think of it as looking up a contact's number by name. #DNS #InternetBasics

10/Let's talk modern web architecture! The journey of a request is wild, involving DNS, Load Balancers, CDNs, and WAFs. #WebArchitecture #SystemDesign1

9/Why separate client and server 3 main reasons Security (Sandbox Envs): Browsers use these to protect sensitive data Lang Compatibility: Browsers only understand HTML/CSS/JS, while backend needs other langs Computing Power: Dump heavy data to servers prevents client side issues

8/Ports are like virtual channels on a computer, similar to apartment numbers in a building, each running different processes. Fascinating! #Networking #TechExplained

7/Ever wondered what a backend actually is? It's essentially a machine that "listens" for user requests over protocols like HTTP or gRPC, through specific ports. #BackendBasics #HowItWorks

5/Learning backend? Don't just jump into a single language or framework! Understand the "big picture" and "first principles." #BackendLearning #CodingTips 6/The first principles approach means fundamentals: routing, auth, caching etc. This makes you adaptable to any new language!

4/ And finally, scalability – the ability to handle an increasing number of users automatically. Essential for growth! #Scalability #SoftwareArchitecture

2/Reliability means your system runs continuously, even under heavy user loads. No more crashes when traffic spikes! #SystemDesign #WebDev 3/ Fault-tolerance is key! Think multiple servers acting as backups. If one goes down, your system stays up and running. #DevOps

1/Just finished an insightful session into backend development by @Rshb_twts and wow, it's so much more than just CRUD operations! A truly robust backend needs to be reliable, fault-tolerant, and scalable. #BackendDevelopment #TechTalk
