Client-Server Architecture

Client-server architecture is a computing model where tasks are divided between service providers, known as servers, and service requesters, known as clients. In this setup, clients (like your computer or smartphone) send requests to servers, which are powerful computers or systems that process these requests and send back the appropriate responses. This arrangement enables efficient resource sharing, centralized data management, and the ability for multiple clients to access services simultaneously, making it foundational to how many online applications and services operate, such as web browsing and email.
