How do you build a large scale system?

Here are some ways to prepare for scaling early:

1. Avoid monolithic architecture. Monolithic architecture means the UI layer, logic layer, and database layer all reside in one server.
2. Build systems that can scale by duplication.
3. Separate functionality.
4. Think ahead in the cloud.
5. Consider AI early on.
6. Add IoT.

How do you create a distributed system?

Building a “Simple” Distributed System – The What

1. what the resource allocation library must do.
2. the design of the protocol that describes the what in more formal detail.
3. the formal verification of the protocol with TLA+.
4. a high level view of the implementation, also known as the how.

What is large scale distributed system?

Large-scale distributed systems are the core software infrastructure underlying cloud computing. These systems consist of tens of thousands of networked computers working together to provide unprecedented performance and fault-tolerance.

How do you create a scalable distributed system?

Implement the application and database server on a single node.

1. Vertical Scaling (Stronger and faster)
2. Horizontal Scaling – Application Server (Delegate and Balance)
3. Caching (Respond Fast)
4. Horizontal Scaling and Replication – Database Server (Create copies)
5. Sharding and Federation – Database Server (Divide and Conquer)

How does distributed computing work in distributed systems?

A distributed computer system consists of multiple software components that are on multiple computers, but run as a single system. The computers that are in a distributed system can be physically close together and connected by a local network, or they can be geographically distant and connected by a wide area network.

How do you scale system design?

6 Best Ways to Scale Your Systems

1. Splitting services. Splitting large monolithic software projects into smaller ones is not a new concept.
2. Horizontal scaling.
3. Separate databases for reading and writing concerns.
4. Database sharding.
5. Memory caching.
6. Going to the cloud.
