🍕 Understanding the CAP Theorem 🍕 As I delved into distributed systems today, the CAP Theorem caught my attention. It reminded me of running a pizza chain—here’s how each component can be related to our favorite food! 1️⃣ Consistency Imagine ordering a pizza and adding extra cheese on your phone, but when you refresh the order on your laptop, the cheese is missing! In a consistent system, updates made on one device (like adding that extra cheese) will instantly appear on all other devices, so your toppings look the same everywhere. Real-world Tech Example: Banking Systems prioritize Consistency so that every update to your account (like a transaction) reflects instantly across devices. ⚖️ 2️⃣ Availability Imagine it’s a busy Friday night at your local pizza place. Despite the high demand, they keep serving customers, even if some orders might not be perfect. Availability means the system remains operational and responsive, even if the data isn’t completely up-to-date. Tech Example: Social media platforms like Instagram maintain availability to ensure users can interact, even if some features are temporarily out of sync. 🔄 3️⃣ Partition Tolerance Consider a pizza chain with branches across various neighborhoods. If one branch faces a power outage, the others continue to serve customers. Partition tolerance allows the system to function despite network issues in parts of the system. Tech Example: E-commerce sites like Amazon ensure partition tolerance to remain accessible during high traffic, even if some servers experience downtime. 🌐 The CAP theorem states that no distributed system can achieve all three simultaneously. Thus, organizations often prioritize as follows: • Banking Systems: Consistency and Partition Tolerance (CP) to maintain data integrity. • Social Media Platforms: Availability and Partition Tolerance (AP) for a seamless user experience. • E-commerce Sites: Availability and Partition Tolerance (AP) to accommodate user demand. #TechConcepts #CAPTheorem #DistributedSystems #PizzaTech

Microsoft Outage affects surely should be an eye opener for human civilization. Too much dependency on technology and its adverse consequences have been experienced to some extent by all of us.Some of these are - 1.Online POS transactions are largely impacted in several retail outlets. 2.Financial institutions including Banks had to stop their core banking functions -severe impact on clearing and settlement of Transactions. 3.Life became standstill with many transportation services are called off. 4.Companies across world suffered resulting in loss of Revenue. Lessons learnt from it -advancement of technology is good and must , but at the same time we should prepare ourselves to combat such outages as well - keep some physical cash, hard copies of your ticket, provision of physical ledgers and records, Manual alternatives etc.

People aren’t as patient as they once were. Back in the day, waiting 10 seconds for a website to load wasn’t particularly unusual. Nowadays, though, anything less than an instant response may push users—and I include both customers and employees in that category—to rage and quit your solution. So, applications must handle whatever users throw, especially peak loads. After all, by definition, this is the point at which your system is exposed to the most users, and you have the most to lose. Often, when non-techies think about peak periods, it’s with a retail focus. However, as we all know, it’s not just ticket sellers or Black Friday retailers who need to worry about usage spikes. - Operational surges (e.g. submitting timesheets or cashing up) - High-volume periods (e.g. university results or clearing processes) - Simultaneous login events (e.g. start of the day or after service interruptions) In fact, most businesses experience periods when their solutions experience higher-than-average volumes, and a solution failure or even a slowdown at this time is bad news for sales, customer experience or employee productivity. Obviously, this isn’t exactly breaking news; every business knows when its peak volumes are coming and roughly what its systems need to handle. So, what can they do to help scalability? A common approach is to throw more tin (or cloud) at your solution. The high-level process goes something like this… do some math, factor in some scalability, beef up your system where required, and keep your fingers crossed. And you know what? This can work. But it leaves a hell of a lot to chance, and no amount of computing power can remedy defective code. It may have worked before, but that does not mean it will work every time because you can bet that something will have changed, and the tiniest something might prove to be the limiting factor. It’s a bit like playing Russian roulette. You might get away with it a few times, but eventually, something will go bang, and it won’t end well. Plus, I have seen applications degrade significantly at 40% CPU utilisation, as CPU is not the only hardware constraint. Also, how do you know what will happen when extra hardware is thrown at the problem without testing? To handle the extra load, do you need the high-performance engine from an Aston Martin to drive the application faster or the brute force of a JCB?

#Amazon is now backing #DigitalCredentials. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is. #VerifiableCredentials (VCs) aren’t just a passing trend—they’re the future, literally the next step. This is happening now, and it’s time we get #proactive about it. For #unions, this is a pivotal moment. We need to build frameworks that protect workers and secure their data. Without union leadership stepping up, we risk being left vulnerable—and face a much tougher fight to secure #WorkerRights in the #DigitalAge. It’s simple: we need the experts at the table. Leaders like JNCTN have already proven what’s possible with #VCs, and they’ve set a powerful example for the industry with the #Staylive competency tool. Let’s be proactive, not reactive. This is our chance to shape the future of #DigitalCredentials. The oldest and strongest unions must once again step up and set the standard. Proud of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) for its legacy and excited about what lies ahead. With its partnership with the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), no other industry is better positioned to showcase what’s truly possible.

It’s worth paying attention when Amazon’s ID lead says, “we are doubling down on digital credentials.” Link in the comments. It turns out that Amazon may well help accelerate the adoption of portable digital IDs. Like everyone else dealing with today’s hot mess of ID document verification, Amazon is “starting to hate” document scanning and traditional ID checks. So they are now leaning in to reusable digital IDs. Approaches like the mobile driver’s license (mDLs) and EU digital IDs. Apparently they will be accepting them from next year.
