Stateful vs Stateless Architecture Explained with Real-World Examples

Understand the differences between Stateful and Stateless Architecture, using real-world examples like streaming services, online shopping carts, and authentication systems. Learn how stateful systems store session data on individual servers, while stateless systems rely on a central database to handle requests, making them ideal for scalability and reliability. We also dive into the pros and cons of each architecture and how modern platforms like Netflix, Twitter, and CDNs leverage stateless systems for high performance and seamless user experiences.
