Linux File System Explained
REST API Vs. GraphQL
When it comes to API design, REST and GraphQL each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
REST
Uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE for CRUD operations.
Works well when you need simple, uniform interfaces between separate services/applications.
Caching strategies are straightforward to implement.
The downside is it may require multiple roundtrips to assemble related data from separate endpoints.
GraphQL
Provides a single endpoint for clients to query for precisely the data they need.
Clients specify the exact fields required in nested queries, and the server returns optimized payloads containing just those fields.
Supports Mutations for modifying data and Subscriptions for real-time notifications.
Great for aggregating data from multiple sources and works well with rapidly evolving frontend requirements.
However, it shifts complexity to the client side and can allow abusive queries if not properly safeguarded
Caching strategies can be more complicated than REST.
The best choice between REST and GraphQL depends on the specific requirements of the application and development team. GraphQL is a good fit for complex or frequently changing frontend needs, while REST suits applications where simple and consistent contracts are preferred.
Key Use Cases for Load Balancers
The diagram below shows top 6 use cases where we use a load balancer.
Traffic Distribution
Load balancers evenly distribute incoming traffic among multiple servers, preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed. This helps maintain optimal performance, scalability, and reliability of applications or websites.High Availability
Load balancers enhance system availability by rerouting traffic away from failed or unhealthy servers to healthy ones. This ensures uninterrupted service even if certain servers experience issues.SSL Termination
Load balancers can offload SSL/TLS encryption and decryption tasks from backend servers, reducing their workload and improving overall performance.Session Persistence
For applications that require maintaining a user's session on a specific server, load balancers can ensure that subsequent requests from a user are sent to the same server.Scalability
Load balancers facilitate horizontal scaling by effectively managing increased traffic. Additional servers can be easily added to the pool, and the load balancer will distribute traffic across all servers.Health Monitoring
Load balancers continuously monitor the health and performance of servers, removing failed or unhealthy servers from the pool to maintain optimal performance.

Types of memory. Which ones do you know?
Memory types vary by speed, size, and function, creating a multi-layered architecture that balances cost with the need for rapid data access.
By grasping the roles and capabilities of each memory type, developers and system architects can design systems that effectively leverage the strengths of each storage layer, leading to improved overall system performance and user experience.
Some of the common Memory types are:
1. Registers:
Tiny, ultra-fast storage within the CPU for immediate data access.
2. Caches:
Small, quick memory located close to the CPU to speed up data retrieval.
3. Main Memory (RAM):
Larger, primary storage for currently executing programs and data.
4. Solid-State Drives (SSDs):
Fast, reliable storage with no moving parts, used for persistent data.
5. Hard Disk Drives (HDDs):
Mechanical drives with large capacities for long-term storage.
6. Remote Secondary Storage:
Offsite storage for data backup and archiving, accessible over a network.
Over to you: Which memory type resonates most with your tech projects and why? Share your thoughts!Top 6 Firewall Use Cases
Port-Based Rules
Firewall rules can be set to allow or block traffic based on specific ports. For example, allowing only traffic on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) for web browsing.IP Address Filtering
Rules can be configured to allow or deny traffic based on source or destination IP addresses. This can include whitelisting trusted IP addresses or blacklisting known malicious ones.Protocol-Based Rules
Firewalls can be configured to allow or block traffic based on specific network protocols such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc. For instance, allowing only TCP traffic on port 22 (SSH).Time-Based Rules
Firewalls can be configured to enforce rules based on specific times or schedules. This can be useful for setting different access rules during business hours versus after-hours.Stateful Inspection
Stateful Inspection: Stateful firewalls monitor the state of active connections and allow traffic only if it matches an established connection, preventing unauthorized access from the outside.Application-Based Rules
Some firewalls offer application-level control by allowing or blocking traffic based on specific applications or services. For instance, allowing or restricting access to certain applications like Skype, BitTorrent, etc.

The Internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, shaping how we communicate, access information, and conduct business. At its core, the Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use standardized communication protocols to facilitate data exchange. This enables the transmission of text, images, videos, and more, across all sorts of devices.
In this issue, we dive into the essence of the Internet by exploring its key components: the network edges, access networks, network core, network protocols, and the Internet Protocol stack. We discuss how packet switching, forwarding, and routing work. We unravel the complexities of access networks and examine the crucial role protocols play in governing Internet activities. By the end, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Internet's architecture and its pivotal role in modern communication.
Internet Evolution
The evolution of the Internet is a fascinating journey spanning several decades, marked by groundbreaking developments and innovations. Here is a timeline of key milestones and transformative moments in the history of the Internet that have shaped the digital landscape we know today.
Components of the Internet
The Internet is a complex and interconnected network, consisting of several key components. We are going to explore the most important components of the Internet.
The Network Edge
The computers and other devices connected to the Internet are often referred to as end systems. They are called end systems because they sit at the “edge” of the Internet.
The Internet’s end systems include desktop computers, servers, mobile devices, and an increasing number of non-traditional “things” like smart appliances and IoT devices are being attached to the Internet as end systems.
End systems are also referred to as hosts because they host application programs such as a web browser, web server, e-mail client, or e-mail server.
Hosts are sometimes further divided into two categories: clients and servers. Informally, clients tend to be desktop and mobile PCs, smartphones, and similar personal computing devices, whereas servers tend to be more powerful machines that store and distribute web pages, stream video, relay e-mail, and similar services. Today, most of the servers providing search results, e-mail, web pages, and videos reside in large data centers.
Access networks
Having considered the applications and end systems at the “edge of the network,” let’s next consider the access network, which is the network that physically connects an end system to the first router (also known as the “edge router”) on a path from the end system to any other distant end system.
Access networks serve as the crucial link between end systems and the broader network infrastructure. Access networks can be broadly categorized into three types.
Home Access Networks
Home Access Networks refers to the set of technologies that enable connectivity and communication within a residential environment. This network allows devices within the home to connect to the Internet, share data, and communicate with each other.
Institutional Access Networks
Institutional Access Networks refers to the networking infrastructure and technologies used by organizations, institutions, and businesses to connect to the Internet and facilitate communication within their premises. These networks are designed to handle the specific needs and requirements of large-scale operations.
Mobile Access Networks
Mobile Access Networks refer to the various technologies that enable mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to connect to the Internet and communicate with each other. These technologies facilitate wireless communication and data transfer for mobile users.

Global thinkers. Each January, hundreds of leaders from government, business, and civil society gather in the Alpine town of Davos, Switzerland, to take on the biggest global challenges of the day and set priorities for the year ahead. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to reunite with global thinkers” at the WEF Annual Meeting 2024, says McKinsey senior partner Andres Cadena. This year, more than 300 public figures, including more than 60 heads of state and government, are focusing on rebuilding trust amid uncertainty and rapid change.
•
Discussions at Davos. Generative AI, geopolitics, and sustainability are some of the critical topics at Davos that leaders are sure to engage on, McKinsey senior partners Acha Leke and Kate Smaje and McKinsey Global Institute chair Sven Smit explain. “I’m sure there will be a lot of discussion about trade and our interconnectedness in this sort of polarizing world,” Leke notes. Visit our collection page, McKinsey and the World Economic Forum 2024, to see what McKinsey leaders expect at Davos this year.

Reimagining our connected world at Davos
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
New from McKinsey & Company
The world is deeply interconnected. Every region relies on trade with other regions for more than 25 percent of at least one important type of good. But trade reconfiguration is under way, and increased investment into a range of developing economies suggests further trade reconfiguration in coming years. What can business leaders do to prepare? “In the current state of uncertainty, the imperative for business leaders is to … have a strategy in place to help shape a new architecture to match an evolving world,” write McKinsey’s Jeongmin Seong, Olivia White, Michael Birshan, Lola Woetzel, and coauthors in a new report from the McKinsey Global Institute. Global cooperation can also contribute to, and help shape, the discourse on the evolution of global connections.
On day 3 of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, check out these insights to understand how our interconnected world is evolving and why global integration is here to stay—albeit with nuance. And bookmark this page for daily updates on #WEF24.To see more essential reading on topics that matter, visit McKinsey Themes.

Global decision makers. With some 2,500 delegates and hundreds of others coming together each January, Davos may be the world’s biggest gathering of decision makers. Davos isn’t just about the well-known luminaries in attendance, however. Key to the meeting’s success is the networking and “coincidental meetings that happen in the margins of the sessions,” as McKinsey senior partner Kate Smaje notes. Ultimately, Davos is about tackling the most pressing issues of the day, including the climate crisis and rapidly advancing technologies.
•
On the Davos docket. In an era of rapid change and increased fragmentation, WEF is focused on restoring trust on three levels: in our future, within societies, and among nations. For 2024, McKinsey’s knowledge collaborations with WEF are intended to foster global cooperation for sustainable, inclusive growth. Check out our McKinsey Explainers entry “What is Davos?” to put the meeting into proper context and discover some of this year’s initiatives, including developing a long-term strategy for climate, nature, and energy.

Are you ready for the future of work? A leader’s guide
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Disrupted, resilient, evolving. Three seemingly contradictory words that describe the US labor market’s recent past and likely future. During the pandemic, many American workers not only changed jobs in droves but also moved into brand-new careers. Approximately 8.6 million occupational shifts took place between 2019 and 2022, according to McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Olivia White, and colleagues. Their analysis predicts another 12 million shifts through 2030, thanks to automation (including gen AI), federal investment, and structural trends. With such powerful forces at play, what’s a leader to do to prepare for the future of work? Well, a lot. Embracing gen AI tools as a way of enhancing work—not destroying it—could mean big gains in productivity for businesses, as long as clear guidelines and guardrails are in place. Meanwhile, innovative approaches to hiring (for example, seeking high-potential people and then training them on the job) could pay major dividends and encourage the recruitment of more diverse candidates.
That’s the percentage of time employees spend on work activities that could be automated, according to McKinsey’s Eric Hazan, Alex Singla, Kate Smaje, Alex Sukharevsky, Lareina Yee, Rodney Zemmel, and colleagues. With the advent of gen AI, the McKinsey Global Institute revised an earlier estimate of automation’s effects and noted a shift in the types of work that could be most affected. “The acceleration in the potential for technical automation is largely due to gen AI’s increased ability to understand natural language,” the authors say. “Thus, gen AI has more impact on knowledge work associated with occupations that have higher wages and educational requirements than on other types of work.”
That’s from senior partners Celia Huber, María del Mar Martínez Márquez, Sara Prince, and coauthors in McKinsey’s fourth report on the business case for diversity—which confirms that the future of work must be inclusive. The relationship between gender and ethnic diversity on leadership teams and superior financial performance continues to grow, and there’s also a link between diversity at the top and diversity across the company. Also growing: the call for organizations to consider their impact on all stakeholders, including employees. To achieve sustainable, inclusive growth, the authors describe five areas where companies can create holistic impact: financial and operational, capabilities, health and workforce, environmental, and social.
This week, global leaders and luminaries descend upon a Swiss resort town to grapple with the most pressing issues of the day. Ahead of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, we spoke with some of WEF’s Young Global Leaders about the topics that warrant more attention there. A few note the intersection between climate action and inclusion. “Increasing the number of women managers by 1.0 percent can lead to a 0.5 percent decrease in carbon dioxide emissions,” says Fatoumata Bâ, founder and executive chair of Jango Capital. “Yet only 11 percent of private equity and venture capital allocators and 7 percent of investment recipients are women.” Another recurring theme is the pipeline of future leaders, or the lack thereof. “Despite our AI-driven era’s constant policy challenges, investment in developing skilled politicians is surprisingly low,” says Lisa Witter, cofounder and CEO of Apolitical Foundation. “We need to reevalute our backing for political talent, preparing politicians for today and beyond.”
Lead by looking ahead.
