Space-Based / Data-Grid Architectures

By Habib Pourfard

Space-based or data-grid architectures handle massive workloads by spreading data and processing across many servers. This means your app can keep running smoothly even when traffic surges or parts of the system go offline.

Imagine a warehouse with lots of shelves, each looked after by its own worker. When orders arrive, workers share the load so no one gets overwhelmed. If a shelf is full, the worker can send boxes to another.

  • Distributed storage: Data is spread across nodes
  • Elastic processing: Work moves to available servers
  • Fault tolerance: Keeps running if some nodes fail

Space-based architectures distribute work so systems can handle big spikes in demand, like a well-organised warehouse.
