TheCAP theoremis one of the most fundamental principles in distributed system design. It defines the trade-offs between three key properties —Consistency,Availability, andPartition tolerance— and explains why it’s impossible to achieve all three simultaneously in a distributed data system.

What availability means, how it's measured, architectural patterns that improve it, practical trade-offs, and how to validate an availability target. Availabilityis the probability that a system performs its required function at a given point in time. Practically, it answers the question:“Is the ser

Modern software systems must handle rapid growth, unpredictable load, and unexpected failures — all without compromising user experience. Three key pillars define such systems:scalability,availability, andstability. Each comes with its own design patterns and trade-offs that engineers use to build r
