Distributed systems and Distributed computing


  • Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems. A distributed system is a system whose components are located on different networked computers, which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another.
  • A distributed system is a network that consists of autonomous computers that are connected using a distribution middleware. They help in sharing different resources and capabilities to provide users with a single and integrated coherent network
  • A distributed system allows resource sharing, including software by systems connected to the network. Examples of distributed systems/applications of distributed computing: Intranets, Internet, WWW, email.
  • The key goals of a distributed system include Transparency: Achieving the image of a single system image without concealing the details of the location, access, migration, concurrency, failure, relocation, persistence and resources to the users. Openness: Making the network easier to configure and modify.

Differences of Web Applications and Web Services

Web Applications A web application is a software application that a user runs in the web browser. It have the following features.

(XML, JSON, etc...). Web services are further classified into SOAP  and REST . In the present day scenario, most services prefer REST over SOAP . Example: GitHub PayPal Facebook Twitter

Tools to maintain the code quality.

To maintain code quality we use code review tools. There are many tools to all programming languages. Veracode Veracode is a static analysis tool which is built on the SaaS model. This tool is mainly used to analyze the code from a Security point of view. RIPS Technologies RIPS is the only code analysis solution that performs language-specific security analysis. It detects the most complex security vulnerabilities deeply nested within the source code that no other tools are able to find. It supports major frameworks, SDLC integration, relevant industry standards and can be deployed as a self-hosted software or used as software-as-a-service. With its high accuracy and no false positive noise, RIPS is the ideal choice for analyzing Java and PHP applications PVS - Studio PVS-Studio is a tool for detecting bugs and security weaknesses in the source code of programs, written in C, C++, C#, and Java. It works in Windows, Linux, and macOS environment. It is possible to integrate...
