Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - CAP Theorem

The video tutorial explains the CAP theorem, which states that in a distributed system, consistency, availability, and partition tolerance cannot all be achieved simultaneously. It delves into each concept: consistency ensures data integrity, availability ensures system responsiveness, and partition tolerance allows the system to function despite network issues. The tutorial highlights the importance of partition tolerance in distributed architectures and discusses how NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Cassandra prioritize partition tolerance while balancing consistency and availability.
