A Series of Presentations at the University of Lucerne: Fundamentals of Distributed Systems

We continue to introduce our readers to the basics of how distributed systems operate. The featured video delves into the key concepts of distributed systems, highlighting their primary goal – achieving a shared task through interaction and message exchange between nodes.

The central component is the protocol, which ensures coordination and interaction among system participants. Konrad Baechler, co-founder of diva.exchange, emphasizes the necessity of achieving consensus at the data level, as the lack of a shared time system rules out time-based agreement.

One key example discussed is the use of blockchain technology, where preserving data integrity at a specific moment is critical. Diva.exchange provides tools and approaches essential for developers working with distributed systems, including advanced knowledge of container technologies such as Docker, enabling testing in a local environment.

Significant attention is given to communication within systems. Konrad Baechler highlights that the UDP protocol is vital for minimizing delays and optimizing resources. He also points out the shortcomings of some modern technologies, such as gRPC, which are not always suitable for distributed systems striving to grant privacy.

The video offers a comprehensive introduction for developers interested in designing reliable distributed systems.

THIS IS DIVA.EXCHANGE

The non-profit association diva.exchange, Switzerland, uses a barrier-free and collaborative approach to create free banking technology for everyone. Open-source technology ensures the privacy of all participants in the financial system of the future. The blockchain-based system is fully distributed. Everyone can participate in diva.exchange.

Diva.exchange is committed to the belief that only commercially free technology can reliably protect user privacy.

Collaboration with the scientific community plays an important role in the development of diva.exchange. The results of diva.exchange research are constantly being validated by academic institutions and publicly presented at specialized conferences.
