Apache Cassandra
Distributed NoSQL database designed for high availability, linear scalability, and handling massive amounts of data across multiple data centers
Apache Kafka
Distributed streaming platform designed for high-throughput, real-time data pipelines and event-driven architectures
Apache Storm
Real-time computation system for processing unbounded streams of data with guaranteed message processing
Exponential Backoff
Retry strategy that progressively increases delay between retry attempts to handle transient failures and prevent system overload
Horizontal Scaling
Scaling strategy that increases system capacity by adding more machines or instances rather than upgrading existing hardware
Inverted Indexes
Full-text search and information retrieval using inverted indexes
Optimistic Locking
Concurrency control mechanism that assumes conflicts are rare and handles them when they occur, using version numbers or timestamps to detect concurrent modifications
