The Importance of Threat Protection for RESTful Web Services
RESTful web services are closely aligned to the web itself and as such inherit all traditional threats from the web. Although network level threats are well understood and addressed by traditional firewall infrastructure, RESTful web services type APIs are also subject to content (or message) level threats: XML parsing libraries, JSON content, etc.
Trying to Understand CAP
The CAP theorem....states that such a system cannot guarantee at the same time Consistency, Availability and Partition tolerance. It is the cornerstone of modern NoSQL solutions that make various trade-offs between these qualities.
Consistency..roughly means that the clients get the same view of data
Availability is a property saying that every request to a non-failing node will return a (meaningful) response.
Partition tolerance means that the system will continue working even if any number of messages sent between nodes is lost.
Specific combinations of these qualities are discussed: P+C, A+P, A+C
