Reader-Writer matchmaking

Reader-Writer matchmaking is a method used in computer systems to manage access to shared data. It ensures that multiple readers can access data simultaneously without conflicts, while writers have exclusive access to make changes. Think of it like a library: many people can read a book at the same time, but only one person can make notes or update it, and they must wait until no one else is reading. This approach balances efficiency with data integrity, allowing multiple reads but controlling write access to prevent inconsistencies.
