Distributed Databases
Distributed databases refer to a collection of multiple databases that are spread across different locations and connected via a network. These databases work together to store, manage, and retrieve data in a distributed manner, allowing for improved scalability, availability, and performance compared to a centralized database system. Data in distributed databases can be replicated across multiple nodes to ensure fault tolerance and data consistency, and various techniques such as sharding and replication are used to optimize data storage and retrieval processes.
