Caching makes systems faster and handles more users. This guide explains caching simply, covering types like browser, server, and CDN caching, plus strategies like cache-aside and write-through. Learn where to use caches, how to manage them, and see examples from e-commerce sites to boost speed and
Consistent Hashing minimizes data movement in distributed systems using a hash ring for key-server mapping. Virtual nodes improve load balancing; MD5 or MurmurHash ensures even distribution. Paired with replication, it enhances fault tolerance in systems like DynamoDB. Tuning VNodes optimizes scalab
