I stumbled upon your video when I was looking for replication in database and since then I am wondering why didn't I join this channel before. This is one the best channel I have ever seen on clearing concepts.
I believe your short videos are more clear than any resources I have encountered on replication, sharding or the Rest architecture. I appreciate your work and Thank you for helping us.
