Designing a Scalable Web Application Architecture
Imagine you're tasked with designing the architecture for a new web application that is expected to scale rapidly in terms of user base and traffic. The application will be a social media platform similar to X (Twitter), where users can post short messages, follow other users, and engage with content through likes and comments. The goal is to ensure the system can handle millions of active users concurrently while maintaining fast response times and high availability. Requirements: - The system should be highly scalable to accommodate a growing user base and increasing traffic. - Ensure high availability to minimize downtime and provide a seamless user experience. - Optimize performance to deliver fast response times for user interactions. - Implement data storage solutions that can handle large volumes of data and support efficient querying. - Incorporate caching mechanisms to reduce database load and improve overall system performance. - Design APIs that are intuitive, robust, and well-documented for external developers to integrate with the platform.
