What is Network Latency, What Causes it, and How can it be Improved?

Image
  Imagine a network as a team of people working together to get things done. They need to communicate and pass information to each other to provide services, just like team members talking to each other to complete a task. Now, sometimes, there can be problems or obstacles that slow down this communication process. It's like team members facing challenges that make it harder for them to share information efficiently. When these issues occur, it creates a delay in providing the services the network is supposed to offer. This delay is what we call "network latency," which is similar to team members experiencing delays in their communication that hinder their ability to get things done quickly and smoothly. The same ideology in computer networks: Network latency is the result of interconnected components that allow the Internet to facilitate various activities on online platforms. These components include computers, servers, modems, routers, fibre optic cables, firewalls, an...

What are the Differences Between a Monolith, Services, and Microservices?

In the dynamic realm of technology, how we conceive, construct, and uphold applications exerts a significant influence on their scalability, ease of maintenance, and ultimate prosperity. Throughout this blog, we will embark on an expedition through the evolutionary trajectory of software architecture. Our exploration will encompass an in-depth analysis of the merits and drawbacks inherent to each approach, as well as an illumination of the factors that underpin the decisions undertaken by developers. Our exploration will span from the cohesive framework of Monoliths to the decentralized essence of Service Architecture, and finally, to the refined modularity of Microservices. In doing so, we will traverse the evolutionary path of software design. This blog is going to provide you with a thorough grasp of these architectures, empowering you to make educated choices when selecting the optimal approach for your projects. Whether you're an experienced developer, a curious tech enthusias...
