Problems

  1. Read-Heavy System
  2. High-Write Traffic
  3. Single Point of Failure
  4. High Availability
  5. High Latency
  6. Handling Large Files
  7. Monitoring and Alerting
  8. Slow Database Queries

Solutions

  1. Use caching for faster reads
  2. Use async writes - Use LSM-Tree Database
  3. Implement redundancy and failover
  4. Use load balancing - Use replication
  5. Use CDN to reduce latency
  6. Use block storage and object storage
  7. Use centralized logging solution
  8. Use proper indexes - Use sharding to horizontally scale
