Concurrency

API Design

The process of defining interfaces for software components to communicate with each other effectively.

Caching

Storing frequently accessed data in a fast-access storage layer to reduce latency and improve performance.

Idempotency

The property where an operation produces the same result regardless of how many times it is executed.

Rate Limiting

A technique for controlling the number of requests a client can make to an API within a specified time period.

Circuit Breaker Pattern

A design pattern that prevents cascading failures by stopping calls to a failing service temporarily.

Parallelism

The simultaneous execution of multiple computations across multiple processors or cores.

Evaluating a system's speed, responsiveness, and stability under various load conditions.

An extension of continuous integration where code changes are automatically deployed to production after passing tests.

A design pattern where dependencies are provided to a component rather than created within it.

The systematic application of engineering principles to the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software.

Testing a system beyond normal operational capacity to determine its breaking point and failure behaviour.

Automatic memory management that reclaims memory occupied by objects no longer referenced by the program.

A programming construct that waits for and dispatches events or messages in a program.

A development practice where code changes are automatically built and tested when merged to a shared repository.
