Stateful / Stateless

Stateful Applications:
These applications retain data across sessions, often requiring persistent storage or ordered scaling.

Examples: Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), Kafka, Redis

Stateless Applications:
These applications do not store client data between requests. Each instance operates independently, making scaling and deployments straightforward.

Examples: Web servers, REST APIs, front-end applications
