Client Server communication through HTTP/S Part 02

Image
  How is authentication handled in AMQP and MQTT? AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) and MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) are messaging protocols used for building distributed systems. Both protocols primarily focus on communication patterns and efficient message delivery, and they don't inherently provide authentication mechanisms. However, the underlying transport layers or broker implementations often handle authentication and security. Authentication in AMQP: AMQP is a messaging protocol that defines a set of wire-level protocols and rules for communication between messaging clients and brokers. Authentication in AMQP is typically handled at the transport layer or by the broker. Here are common methods for authentication: 1. Transport-Level Security (TLS/SSL): - AMQP can operate over a secure transport layer (TLS/SSL), providing encryption and authentication. In this case, clients authenticate the server through certificates, and optionally, servers can requ...

Client Server communication through HTTP/S Part 01

Image
When an HTTP request is initiated by a client and sent to a server, several steps take place in the process. Here is a high-level overview of the steps involved: 1. DNS Resolution:    - The client resolves the domain name in the request to an IP address using the Domain Name System (DNS). 2. TCP Handshake:    - The client establishes a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connection with the server. This involves a three-way handshake: SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK. 3. HTTP Request Generation:    - The client constructs an HTTP request based on the user's action (e.g., clicking a link or submitting a form). The request includes the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.), headers, and the requested resource (URL). 4. Request Transmission:    - The client sends the HTTP request to the server over the established TCP connection. 5. Server Receives Request:    - The server receives the incoming HTTP request. 6. Server Parses Request:    - The server...

Real-Time Systems Architecture with WebSockets and SignalR

Image
In the dynamic landscape of modern web applications, user expectations for real-time interactions have become increasingly demanding. Traditional request-response models struggle to meet these expectations, giving rise to a new era in architecture that embraces real-time communication. In this blog post, we'll delve into the realms of WebSockets and SignalR—two technologies that are at the forefront of real-time systems architecture. The Need for Real-Time Communication In the early days of the Internet, websites predominantly relied on a request-response mechanism. The client would send a request to the server, and the server would respond with the requested information. Traditional request-response models struggle to meet the demands of modern applications, leading to the advent of groundbreaking technologies like WebSockets and libraries like SignalR. In this exploration, we shine a spotlight on SignalR, a game-changer for ASP.NET developers seeking to infuse their applications ...

Unveiling the Power of Message-Driven Architecture

Image
Introduction: In the ever-evolving landscape of software architecture, developers are constantly seeking innovative ways to build scalable, resilient, and responsive systems. One such paradigm gaining prominence is Message-Driven Architecture (MDA). This approach, rooted in the principles of loose coupling and asynchronous communication, offers a robust foundation for designing distributed systems capable of handling complex workflows and diverse data processing scenarios. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, the real world serves as a flawless model of a distributed system. By observing and extracting principles from real-world dynamics, we can construct Reactive Systems that mirror the efficiency and adaptability found in nature. Consider face-to-face conversations in the real world—a prime example of synchronous communication. As time progressed, the introduction of letters brought about a shift towards asynchronous communication. The evolution continued with the advent of ph...
