Understand how a load balancer distributes traffic across multiple servers to ensure high availability and performance, using algorithms such as round robin, least connections, and resource-based routing.
Explore how a message broker enables asynchronous communication between microservices, reducing latency and data loss by handling retries and decoupling producers and consumers through queues and pub-sub topics.
Learn how an API enables microservices to communicate by defining request and response structures. Explore the order and payment service interaction, including URI, base URL, endpoints, and Swagger documentation.
Explore REST, GraphQL, and gRPC fundamentals, including REST principles, GraphQL schema and resolvers, and gRPC with HTTP/2 and protobufs, plus when to use each.
Explore how single sign-on unifies authentication across apps using identity provider, service provider, and identity broker. See how SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect enable authentication and authorization.
Explore consistent hashing to evenly distribute data across multiple servers using a ring, hash-based sharding, and clockwise traversal, while reducing rebalancing with virtual nodes.
