For the past few months, I've been diving deep into distributed systems. I have started writing a blog series to explain distributed systems from the first principles approach. Checkout the first blog post lays the groundwork at https://t.co/y7BmnYjrcL

@mehulmpt @fermionapp One other thing I can think of is having a AI TA for the course. The course content would be feeded on to the FM and users(students) can further get the option to add their own notes. This AI TA should have the common knowledge of all the courses user has taken.

@_rohan____ @muskaanngupta @arpit_bhayani Adding a few more resources:

[Vilas Gowda @thevilas28]

@arpit_bhayani DynamoDB is a great example for this. If a consistent read is required then its handled by master node, other reads are handled by follower(or even leader) node. While the write always goes through master.
