Distributed Key-Value Store

A Distributed Key-Value Store is a type of database that spreads data across multiple servers to enhance performance and reliability. In this system, information is stored as key-value pairs, where each unique key identifies a piece of data (value). This allows for quick retrieval, as users can access data by simply using its key. Because the data is distributed across several machines, it can handle large amounts of traffic and provides fault tolerance—if one server fails, others can take over, ensuring that the system remains functional and data is not lost.
