matter-1-3FAQs
What is DNS and how does it work?
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-readable names like example.com into the IP addresses machines use to route traffic. A resolver queries a hierarchy of servers, from root to top-level domain to the domain's authoritative name server, caching answers along the way based on each record's time-to-live (TTL). Common record types include A and AAAA for addresses, CNAME for aliases, MX for mail, and TXT for verification and policy data. DNS changes propagate gradually because caches honor the TTL, which is why updates are not always instant.
What is the difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP is a connection-oriented transport protocol that guarantees ordered, reliable delivery using handshakes, acknowledgments, retransmission, and flow and congestion control. UDP is connectionless and sends datagrams with no delivery guarantees, ordering, or congestion control, trading reliability for lower latency and overhead. Use TCP when correctness and completeness matter, such as web pages, APIs, and file transfer. Use UDP when speed and timeliness matter more than perfect delivery, such as live video, voice, gaming, and DNS lookups.
What is a CDN?
A content delivery network (CDN) is a geographically distributed set of edge servers that cache and serve content close to users, reducing latency and offloading origin servers. When a user requests a resource, the nearest edge node serves it from cache or fetches it from the origin and stores it for subsequent requests. CDNs accelerate static assets like images, scripts, and video, and increasingly run logic at the edge and absorb traffic spikes and DDoS attacks. Cache behavior is controlled by HTTP headers such as `Cache-Control` and by configurable invalidation.
What is a reverse proxy?
A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of backend servers and forwards client requests to them, returning the responses as if it were the origin. It commonly handles load balancing, TLS termination, caching, compression, and request routing, hiding the internal topology from clients. This contrasts with a forward proxy, which acts on behalf of clients reaching out to the internet. Popular reverse proxies include NGINX, HAProxy, and Envoy, and an API gateway is a specialized reverse proxy focused on API concerns.
What is a load balancer?
A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers so no single instance becomes a bottleneck, improving availability and scalability. It uses algorithms such as round robin, least connections, or hashing, and performs health checks to route traffic only to healthy targets. Layer 4 load balancers operate on TCP/UDP connections, while Layer 7 balancers understand HTTP and can route by path, host, or header. Combined with autoscaling, load balancers let a system handle growth and tolerate the failure of individual nodes.
