Push and Pull data - Pros and Cons and When to Use Each Approach

Image
When designing data flows, choosing between pushing (sending data proactively) and pulling ( retrieving data on demand ) depends on factors like efficiency, latency, scalability and control.  Pushing Data: The source system sends data automatically to the destination as they occur. Pros of Pushing Data : Lower Latency: Updates are delivered in real-time or near real-time. Efficiency for High-Frequency data: Reduces the need for repeated requests when data updates frequently. Less Client-side Processing: The destinatiuon system doesn't need to monitor or poll for changes. Reduces Server Load (for clients). Eliminates unnecessary requests when no new data is available. Cons of Pushing Data: Potential Overload: if too much data is pushed once, the receiver may struggle to process it efficiently. More Complex Error Handling: if the destination is down, data might be lost without a proper retry mechanism. Requires Efficient Event Handling:  The destination must be able to hand...

About Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)  In the context of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and its implementation GnuPG (GPG), key listings use specific abbreviations to denote different types of keys: sec : Secret (private) primary key ssb : Secret (private) subkey pub : Public primary key sub : Public subkey Key usage flags indicate the specific purposes for which a key can be utilized. These flags are represented by single-letter abbreviations: S : Signing C : Certifying (issuing certifications for other keys) E : Encrypting A : Authentication When you see a key with the usage flags SC , it signifies that the key is designated for both signing and...
