"SQL vs NoSQL Both are super common and WILL come up at your job in tech. The differences are key to understand when you create your systems design. What is ACID (making a full video on this soon) ACID (used in SQL databases) ensures that transactions are reliable by making them all-or-nothing consistent isolated and durable. This guarantees data integrity and accuracy but may be slower for scaling. BASE (used in NoSQL databases) prioritizes availability and performance allowing the system to be available with eventual consistency rather than immediate accuracy. It sacrifices strict"

Parallelism is about executing multiple tasks literally at the same time. - In a concurrent system multithreading allows threads to run independently and the system may switch between them (context switching) even on a single-core processor. - In a parallel system multithreading uses multiple cores/CPUs to run threads at the exact same time resulting in faster execution when tasks are truly independent.
