What even is distributed systems

Read Original

This article provides a foundational overview of distributed systems, defining them as the study of interactions between processes and highlighting challenges in consistency, reliability, and performance. It offers a structured learning path, strongly recommending 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' (DDIA) and the MIT Distributed Systems course, and suggests practical implementation projects and community resources like the Software Internals Discord for further study.
