The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser Synchronous and asynchronous workloads are everywhere
Aug 12, 2021
The podcast explores synchronous and asynchronous operations in programming, real-time messaging, database systems, and operating systems. It discusses the impact of synchronous and asynchronous replication on consistency and user experience in databases. The concept of synchronous and asynchronous commits in databases is also explored, along with the importance of maintaining durability. The differences between synchronous and asynchronous workloads are discussed, focusing on the advantages of batching writes for improved performance and longer SSD lifespan.
